The Windows drivers do not restore NVM images. So I don't think this report
was seeing the same issue. If the NVM is really corrupted, loading the Windows
driver is not going fix it. The Windows driver does not calculate and check
the checksum so the device could be using what ever is in the corrupted NVM and
running with those settings. Much like in some case on this bug if you comment
out the checksum check it works for some people (probably with some random MAC
address).
