Actually the patch numbered 930916 totally disabled my Inspiron 8500 laptop's
ability to run without a power cable, or to connect to a wired network. So
now if I want to undock I have to connect a power cable, start up the system,
and then unplug the power cable. But that still doesn't give me wired network
access. I even uninstalled the update and went to the trouble of reinstalling
several patches from Dell that were over a year old. To no avail. When I
startup without AC power I get the message, "Your computer is running on
batteries but is shown to be docked." Of course it's not docked, and I even
selected "Undock" from the start menu so that I could use it on battery power.
Try again please Microsoft. The latest few updates have been getting sloppy.
