Hi Tim,

just to remember, it is not forgotten.
Yes, this one is still not clear.

I would not even blame ASUS too much, since I believe nobody ever tried
to bother them with such and so even can't report something bad, but
most likely some special gpio switching on the card is involved, since
else we know very similar cards are most reliable.

Cheers,
Hermann
