Unfortunately I have no longer access to L1 hardware so it looks hard to write a patch for the issue. Would you try following instructions? - Shutdown your box. - Completely remove power cord from your system and wait 5 to 10 min.(Just turning system off is not enough.) - Make sure to plug UTP cable to your controller before system boot. - Plug power cord and let system boot. - Enter BIOS menu and search onboard PCIe LAN configuration in the menu. If "LAN Option ROM" was enabled, disable the option. - Some motherboard might have set another option for "Check Atheros LAN cable". If it was set, disable it. If you also have an option for "Asus Express Gate" try disabling it. - Save changes and reboot. Does that make any difference? -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
