I just bought a Sony Vaio FX220 laptop which happens to have the i815em
chip set.  The sleep mode is also enabled on my card.

Index #1: Found a Intel i82562 Pro/100 V adapter at 0x3000.
EEPROM contents, size 64x16:
    00: 0008 2a46 4313 1a03 0000 0201 4701 0000
  0x08: 0000 0000 49a2 3013 8086 007f 0000 0000
      ...
  0x30: 002c 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
  0x38: 0000 0000 0000 4030 0000 0000 0000 af3e
 The EEPROM checksum is correct.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address 08:00:46:2A:13:43.
  Board assembly 000000-000, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
   Sleep mode is enabled.  This is not recommended.
   Under high load the card may not respond to
    PCI requests, and thus cause a master abort.

Nor have I.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
