When connected to a 100 Mbps/1 Gbps wired LAN, a message
appears informing the user of connection to a 10 Mbps/100
Mbps wired LAN when the computer wakes from sleep mode.
This happens because restoring the network takes about 3
seconds. When the network is restored, the computer will be
connected to the 100 Mbps/1 Gbps LAN.
