I found this answer very helpful. In my case I've been trying for sometime
to get linux 7.0 to recognize my network adapter. I have a linux/windows
dual boot setup. I tried 4 different network cards, a few different bios
settings and numerous irq settings. All I had to do was turn PNP to OFF and
VIOLA!!! it saw the card and I had a network connection.
Many Thanks!!!
Jim

For a Linux only box it really doesn't matter.
For a Linux/Windows dual boot, the safe answer is off. Even if your hardware
doesn't change, Windows may occasionally change the PnP settings of your
devices. This could cause problems during your next Linux load.
