Default Removing Local Area Connection

From: "Dennis"

opined:

F10 does bring me to the Phoenix BIOS ... and under
System Configuration/Boot Options there is "Internal Network Interface
Card" - disabled.


Correction - it says "Internal Network Interface Boot" - disabled. I
believe this is the Wake on LAN setting. Other than that (and the
disable NIC appearing last in the boot sequence), I don't see anything
else in the BIOS regarding the NIC.



No, that's a capability assoiciated with Preboot Execution Environment (aka;
PXE).

This will explain WoL.
