    If you don't mind a 3rd party tool - windows vista - Hide internal USB device from "Safely remove hardware" - Super User - a bit expensive for my taste though

    Would this make sense to you? From networking - How to prevent Windows from safely removing hardware? - Server Fault - You would need to find a way to alter it to fit your situation
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services[your network adaptors keys]. Check under the Enum key, make sure it is a PCI and not USB entry. Under each network adaptor key, create a DWORD DisableRemovable with data value of 1. This doesn't stop the NIC from being removed but it does reconnect it properly.
