This is all about the firmware not the driver. You have to flash the firmware to the network card and I don't think you can even do that on the original R6E. You can update the windows driver but you can't flash the Firmware to the card. I put the marvel windows driver on my install that would be 3.1.6. It gets confusing because the windows driver and FW are both on the same 3.0 version number but no there is no support and as you can see it causes issues. I can get it to work for about an hour after reset but then it starts getting lazy. If you were using the card for 1 gig or GE ports you wouldn't notice it. When you put the load on the card it starts getting lazy. You would never know under a normal application.
Yes what I am saying the marvel cards on both of those are the wrong version numbers. On the marvel site you go to the platform which is windows 64 then you go to the part number in my case it's the AQN-107 that is the same card as the XGC100C and the C100C is the SAME card/driver/FW as what is on the R6E. You all stopped updating the card. The Firmware on the marvel site says 1.8.0_3.1.121a The Firmware on your website for the C100C is the 3.1.88 and it is buggy for ALL iterations I actually use the card for multi gig purposes.
The current FW for the C100C is 3.1.88 on your site not 3.1.121a like above. You just stopped supporting it. So I need to flash something on the card. Your current 10 gig extreme boards are using the 3.1.3 version which I think might fix the problem but you would need to update the driver to both the R6E and the C100C download section.
Literally it is the same hardware you just don't have any way to deploy the fixes to the card.

The thread as it pertains to the fix.

Station Driver has a moded 3.1.121 firmware install package that works for our Asus boards now. The Marvell d/l aborts on ASUS boards.
tation Driver has a moded 3.1.121 firmware install package installs Marvell-Aquantia-Firmware-Version-3.1.121 without patching the install files.
