SYMPTOMS
You may receive a notification that a network cable has been unplugged. This message may appear in the lower-right corner of your screen, near the taskbar icon for your network adapter. This message may appear at seemingly random intervals.

 * 1) Click Start, point to Connect To, and then click Show all connections.
 * 2) Right-click the MN130 adapter connection, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click the General tab, and then click Configure.
 * 4) Click the Power Management tab.
 * 5) Click to clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box (if it is selected).
