Sounds to me like the power management isn't re-enabling the onboard nic when wall power is returned to the laptop. Did you check to see if the NIC is enabled in device manager? I see users disable them all the time. Reboot fix anything?

The user docks her laptop into a Dell D Port every day and today she undocked it to go wireless at a meeting. When she came back and docked, the wirless connection was working but when she tried to enable her wired nic, she gets 'connection failed'. Tried different dports and same results. Everything works great when undocked. Has anyone seen this and know a solution? Thanks!
