Yep, I've seen this behaviour, too. But since Windows is not the main OS on may machine, 
I didn't bother much, and now I don't even have atl2 installed under windows :) 
The less access to the network you give to windows - the safer! :D 

So, I've seen the issue on Windows Vista Ultimate x86_64 - but I suppose, 
all the other versions behave the same way :)

Yes, I've seen this issue with Windows XP 32bits.

It's known.  We have a pretty good idea of how to fix it.  Currently we're 
working on getting the driver merged in mainline, so it will be easier to 
collaborate with other developers.  There have been some... setbacks with that, 
but I think I'll be able to post it this week.  Once that's done I'll tackle the 
initialization bugs, and let you know when I have a patch for you to test.
