When I tried to Pass such nic to the guest, it would hard lock the device, even the Link Indikator LEDs stayed off, which used to work even when the driver was not loaded. The only way to get it working was/is to Power off the Maschine completely. After spending hours trying all kinds of recommandations i gave up and bought an Intel nic. So my guess is that this Chip is "broken" at very low Level and there is not much i could do to get it working. So, better dont waste your time, that would be my advice.

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P that exhibits the same issue that Nick's system has (I checked with lspci -xxxxs 1c). I want to follow your recommendation to report this to the vendor, but I do not know how to describe the issue in a way that they can understand what's going on and hopefully work on a fix. I guess making more high-quality bugreports about this will have an actual chance of getting it fixed, rather than just a single person complaining.
