Fixes & Enhancements

Fix: Reduction of DRAC4 Active Directory login time.

Note:
To make the DRAC 4 update process more robust and fault-tolerant,
the Dell Update Package for DRAC 4 firmware now disables the
DRAC's NIC as a part of the update process. The NIC is enabled
once update is complete.

If the NIC remains disabled for any reason after the update is
complete, use the "racadm setniccfg -s" or "racadm setniccfg -d"
commands to enable the NIC.
