Marvell LAN Driver for Windows XP
v8.24.3.3 addresses these issues in the previous release:When the computer wakes from standby, the LAN device can not get the IP address.When the LAN Cable is disconnected and the computer wakes up, it may take as long as a minute to detect the unplugged cable, and the Task tray icon shows a misleading message.When a Winsock API-based application uses a large amount of Windows resources, other TCP/IP based applications slow down.
