Hi Will,

Thanks for the bug report. Almost 100% of my development time over the 
last month has been related to kernel driver development. We are making 
a very big push to eradicate the remaining few bugs that linger in the 
2.x source code. Recently, we brought on a contract kernel developer who 
specializes in network driver development. He was able to correct quite 
a few issues and its likely the problem you are experiencing won't exist 
in a future release.

As for an ETA, the 2.1.5 release will ship with the older drivers. Its 
been in development for far too long to delay it until the new drivers 
are ready. We will follow up with a quick 2.1.6 release that contains 
the new drivers once they have been tested through a short beta cycle. 
These new drivers will be submitted to MS and will be signed before the 
final release is made available. I will be posting a development update 
shortly with more details.

Hope this helps,

-Matthew
