Jerome, I doubt that the motherboard has 2 nics, open the box and see if one
of the nics are attached to the MB thru a pci slot (these slots are white in
color). from there you should be able to tell which one is active. the nic
on the pci slot is an add-in card and you can remove it if you are not using
it or if it's the one in use then go to the bios and disable the other. the
answer to the sleep mode it's unlikely but possible. either way i would
remove the extra nic.
