Yep basically the nic doesn't work with the Asmedia 1042. Not only that though, I moved to a SandyBridge platform and... The nic stops working very quickly when using an onboard Etron controller. The nic also stops working quickly when using an addon card with Renesas controller. I have a Genesyslogic USB 3.0 hub... The nic also dies with the hub > etron However everything is completely stable with this combination... Renesas controller + Genesyslogic 3.0 hub + SG disabled Anything else will eventually result in the nic becoming unresponsive.
