It believes the card is in self-test mode, which is generally set by
marginally decreasing inductance across a junction:
,.
-----(||)---
`'
^gap
By scribbling across the gap with a pencil.
You can either:
1) Turn *off* "PlugNPlay"
2) Update your driver to one that understands "PlugNPlay" cards
(basically, update your OS to -current if the PNP code has
been integrated).
