To check the version of software, refer to the Determining which version is installed section. Summary of Changes Where: < > Build number [Important] Important update (New) New function or enhancement (Fix) Correction to existing function <135400> - (Fix) Software vulnerability. <132701> - (Fix) Network performance problem in RIS. Only the files that are needed for RIS in PRO1000\WS03XP2K\RIS_INF are updated to fix the performance issue in RIS installation. <131767> - (New) Support for ThinkPad X60 Tablet. <131767> - (Fix) Network performance problems (Windows 2000, XP and DOS unattended installation). <124032> - (Fix) An installation issue in European language versions of RIS server when installing Windows XP. An .inf and instructions files have been added to the folder of \PRO1000\WS03XP2K\RIS_INF. <121462> - (Fix) A power management issue that happens after entering DSPD mode is fixed. Notice: In order to use DSPD, the following version of BIOS and Embedded Controller Program (ECP) are required in addition to this device driver. BIOS Version BIOS ID -------------- ----------------- 1.05a or later 79ET60WW or later ECP Version ECP ID -------------- ----------------- 1.01 or later 79HT42WW or later <117283> - (New) Deep Smart Power Down support for ThinkPad T60/T60p. [Deep Smart Power Down (DSPD)] Deep Smart Power Down turns off the on-board Ethernet when link is down or the network cable is disconnected. After a timeout period, the Ethernet will power off. To the operating system, this appears as a "hot-unplugged Ethernet". When the network cable is reconnected and link is restored, the Ethernet powers up and functionality is fully restored. This appears as a "hot-plugged" Ethernet. This function is available in Windows XP and functions when the system is battery mode. [DSPD information] To disable DSPD: 1. Connect AC power to the system. 2. Open Device Manager. 3. Double-click Network adapters. 4. Double-click Intel(R) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection. 5. Click Advanced tab, Select Deep Smart Power Down, and change the value to Disabled. System does not wake up: If your system has WoL enabled, DSPD enabled, and the on-board Ethernet has entered a DSPD state because the network cable was unplugged, and then your system enters standby or hibernate, your system will not wake up when a packet is sent to it. When the system is in an S3 or S4 state, the Ethernet can not come out of a DSPD state when the network cable is plugged in. To resolve this issue either do not unplug the network cable before entering an S3 or S4 state or disable DSPD. "Error ID: 12 PlugPlayManager" in Event Log: If you have DSPD enabled and you unplug the network cable, an "Error ID: 12 PlugPlayManager". The device 'Intel...' disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal. Message will be written to the event log. This error only occurs on the first DSPD event after a reboot. This error has no affect on the NIC or software functionality. Driver Update in DSPD: You cannot update the device driver when the Ethernet is in DSPD mode. When you need to update the device driver, do one of the following: 1. Plug AC power. 2. Establish link by connecting Ethernet cable. 3. Disable DSPD in Device Manager. Back-To-Back communication in DSPD: When one ThinkPad T60/T60p in DSPD mode is connected to another ThinkPad T60/T60p in DSPD mode via Ethernet Cable directly, they can't establish Ethernet Link. This can be avoided with one of the following ways: 1. Plug AC power to one of ThinkPad T60/T60p. 2. Perform an operation of Standby/Resume on one of ThinkPad T60/T60p 3. Disable DSPD in Device Manager on one of ThinkPad T60/T60p. <115370> - (New) Initial release for ThinkPad T60/T60p/X60s/X60. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TRADEMARKS * ThinkPad is a registered trademark of Lenovo. * Intel is a registered trademark of Intel Corporation. * Microsoft and Windows are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
