[SOLVED] Problems with Asus Z87-K MB: NIC Does not reset after boot

[sebastian]

Here it is: (ON = linkdown, OFF = no linkdown)

COLD BOOT with setting ON: (success):
1040 79c9 001c c800 0de1 0000 0064 2001 0000 0200 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 2000

WARM BOOT with setting ON: (failure):
1040 79c9 001c c800 01e1 0000 0064 2001 0000 0200 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 2000

WARM BOOT with setting OFF: (success):
1040 79c9 001c c800 0de1 0000 0064 2001 0000 0200 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 2000


seems to be the 0de1/01e1 difference that is the culprit.
0d (working) -> BINARY ->
00001101
01 (nonworking) -> BINARY ->
00000001

Seems the 3rd and 4th bit from right of the first byte of the fifth register, needs to be SET for the card to work.


However, it was not only that setting after a Little bit of research. It was Another setting too, that in combination of this setting, sets the "incorrect" MII PHY register.
