I also had no success with the nve-NIC on my A8N-SLI Deluxe since the adaptor stops working when linked up. At the moment I have no equipment testing this again, since the machine moved from my lab to my home. This is what dmesg tells me about the nve0 NIC, maybe this is of your interest: nve0: port 0xb000-0xb007 mem 0xda000000-0xda000fff irq 23 at device 10.0 on pci0 nve0: Ethernet address 00:11:d8:92:a3:15 miibus1: on nve0 ukphy0: on miibus1 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-FDX, auto nve0: Ethernet address: 00:11:d8:92:a3:15 nve0: [GIANT-LOCKED] The also on-board sk0 adaptor works well and is NOT GIANT LOCKED.
