SUMMARY
The startup value for a network adapter in Control Panel Devices should be
set to AUTOMATIC. Setting the value to SYSTEM or BOOT may cause the system
to trap with a STOP:0x0000001E upon system restart.
Behavior may vary from one network card to another.
MORE INFORMATION
You may use the LastKnownGood configuration to get into the system as this
will use the configuration prior to the changed setting, or remove the
network card from the system. This will cause the driver to fail to load
and once back into the system, use the default startup value as configured
with adapter installation.
