Penguin fails to stop the SONIC chip, either directly by writing to registers or indirectly by closing the MacOS driver. Hence, network traffic can crash Linux during startup with memory corruption from DMA or with an unhandled interrupt. This is probably the case for other NICs too, on those systems which can't disable slot interrupts...
