The SiI3112 silicon is so bug ridden its not even funny.

I suggest you return that piece of crap to the vendor that sold it to=20
you and get somthing that works.

If thats not an option and you have plenty of time, you can try to=20
experiment with all PCI and memory options in your BIOS, maybe you can=20
find a combination that make it work.
