Hi Alexis,

Obviously the issue is in the NIC since another driver will work well. But
I can bypass the problem whatever it is by using a vm , so its not a
hardware problem.

I just need to know if there's a setting to modify the timeout for the auth
handshake.

I've also opened a ticket with Killer so I hope to solve it that way, but
since my problem is rather urgent, I must try everything before that.

Thanks
