Yeah, I found it a week ago, but thanks for posting the upstream URL.  I
also found the eepro100 driver doesn't have the support needed.  Neither
does Debian's antiquated e100 driver.  I also found the Intel driver
search page is 100% windows only, however I did manage to find the current
version of the driver and it does have the support.  I think ifplugd is
keeping the hard drive active though, so that could be bad on the battery.
One problem at a time though..
