No, it's not strange, joker, I'm a BIOS engineer and I
know the BIOS can do the most amazing things to perfectly
good hardware!
I should have listed more details, so here they are -
I have the latest BIOS for my Intel 815EA board. The
drivers are all Microsoft standard, even for the NEC
controller. I didn't need the drivers from the CD that
came with it.
I have all OS updates that might remotely bear on the
problem.
I have a dialog going with Microsoft tech support. The
first suggestion from them was that some power management
registers weren't being saved by the BIOS, obviously
confusing an S3 or S4 sleep state with power off. So I
haven't gotten anywhere with them.
The problem follows the adapter regardless of the physical
USB port. And now I've tried it on 2 Intel and 1 NEC
controller, behaves all the same.
When the adapter is plugged in for the first time into a
new controller, there is an error dialog after the "Found
new device.." dialog. I can't make it happen right now,
but I remember it said there was no instance of that
device. I should have screen-shot it, maybe I'll hack the
registry to make it happen again.
Appreciate your time.
