Description: Value indicates whether or not adapter requires a hosting board.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalNetworkAdapterHostingBoard?

This value indicates whether this physical network adapter requires a separate hosting board to be installed, per the MIB's own description of the field. An admin planning an installation checks this to know whether an additional carrier or riser board must be procured before the adapter itself can be seated. For example, a daughtercard-style NIC that needs a riser board to plug into would report true here, while a standard PCIe card would report false.
