   Interesting piece of info ...  However, during the testing these were in   
   E-Dock stations  -  from which they are only undocked when I travel, so   
   weren't undocked during testing  -  so seemingly there wouldn't be any   
   reason for either OS to disable the netcard, as it was permanently   
   connected during the testing.
