This is the console log from when I checked the interface, disabled sleep
mode, and re-checked the interface

Index #1: Found a Intel Pro/100 VE (type 1031) adapter at 0x6400.
EEPROM contents, size 64x16:

 The EEPROM checksum is correct.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address 00:D0:59:BF:EC:B1.
  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.
   To clear sleep mode use the '-G 0 -w -w -f' options.

A potential i82557 chip has been found, but it appears to be active.
Either shutdown the network, or use the '-f' flag.
