>Description:
During the loading of the kernel the pcn driver disables (?) the network card and renders it useless.

	

>How-To-Repeat:
Load a kernel with the pcn driver on a IBM Netfinity 5500 with the onboard adapter that is supported by this driver, it will disable the card.

	

>Fix:
Remove the network cable from the nic during the loading of the kernel during the boot process.  After the boot process plug in the network cable and continue as you were.
