It's a Dell Precision 370. Everything was fine until recently with the last set of system updates.

Now since those updates, sometimes the computer cannot find a network connection. Restarting the computer solves it.

Why please? This shouldn't happen with an update? How can I fix it so it goes back to a more reliable ethernet driver?

Thanks,
geo
