meanwhile in asusland: customer please trial and error all the PCIe slots with
your network card, also are you using a PCIe GFX card and all.
I gave them all the information that I had available and pointed them to this
"bugreport". This is the way how they treat their customers and respect the
information that is already given.
Anyways, this is hopeless, so much for industry standards and compatibility
testing and plug-fests and all that, or blame the firmware developers or
whomever.
By now I have gotton a slightly differently designed dual-gigabitethernet PCIe
card, and all works fine with this different bridge chip they have designed
onto their PCB of the NIC.

So now both dual-port gigabitethernet PCIe cards and the onboard
gigabitethernet port work fine, giving me 5 ethernet ports.
And these cards do work in any of these PCIe slots, no matter if 1x or 16x.
Yay. :(
Not even PCIe is compatible these days, I wonder what a customer or user can
actually take for granted these days? :(
