Some cards do not support detection of the "link beat" that says the connection is up. If the driver reports that it lost the network connection, instead of reporting that it can not detect a network connection, the connection is disabled.
Your network should work with it set to yes, even if you card does support it - you just lose the ability to detect if the network is unplugged. It has no affect on weather the network card is detected in the first place... Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
