I tested your v2 without further changes and I can test again if you 
like. I also found more adapters, including an RTL8159 and RTL8156 plus 
some more 1GBit ones I don't know exactly what they are at the moment. I 
can test those, too in a next round if you like.

I also wonder which role FW plays in this respect. I would suspect that 
this could be configurable. Maybe Hayes can comment.
