Has anyone else had a problem with NIC's slowing down the bootup. I have tried this card in two different systems and the problem is still the same. Specifically the PC pauses (after the autoexec has been run) for about 30-60 seconds. the HD is not being accessed and there appears to be no other activity. Is there a fix for this because I have been told by SMC that all cards cause some slowdown, it just depends on the op sys and the sys spec.
