Update your network drivers and update your BIOS:

Drivers and software - ThinkPad T61, T61p

Uninstall Access Connections if you don't use it.

Also do not allow your machine to turn off the card for power saving purposes:

My Computer > Right Click Properties > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Right click Properties on the network > Power Management > uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

Better explanation in this PDF file. (sorry the file is seemed to have been removed from the server, I have it stored somewhere, will modify the link soon)
