Hey Li,
maybe your having a USB driver issue of some sort. I've used USB nics
without
problem. I'm not much of a PC guy anymore, but I have noticed
different systems tank when you plug in a few USB devices in Windows.
Those NIO_GEN_eth ids change (long time ago, so not 100% sure) when
you pull the USB Nics off and add them back on, so that pissed me off
and I ended up buying 3
4 port NICs. If you get them, make sure you have a large ATX case. The cards
are long.
