Some additional information that might help ...

On the above-mentioned Toshiba Portege R100, under Puppy Linux 4.3.1 (a
Debian/Ubuntu derivative), using the e100 driver module for its Intel
Ethernet card...

1.  The Linux program "ethtool" reports that Wake-On-Lan ("WOL") is
active on the Ethernet card, even when the machine's BIOS reports that
WOL is disabled.

2.  Unloading the e100 driver module when the machine is in use, but not
using wired Ethernet, results in a small, but noticeable, improvement in
battery life.

If I can do anything (besides root from the sidelines) to help resolve
this issue, holler.
