  FYI: Sometimes not installing the vendor bloatware isn't enough.
Some of the dubious "features" default to on.  I know I spent forever
trying to figure out what I thought was a malfunctioning NIC in a Dell
M4400.  It kept negotiating lower speeds than I wanted.  This was a
clean Windows install; no Dell bloatware, just drivers.  Turns out the
Intel driver was defaulting "AutoPowerSaveModeEnabled" to on.  You had
to explicitly turn it off.  This APSM "feature" causes the NIC to
negotiate to the slowest speed when on battery.
