There's a more recent driver available than the one on the Asus site.
Google found it for me.  Unfortunately I can't recall were I downloaded
it from now.

Unfortunately whilst it appears to work ok at 100Mb/s, I get a huge
number of framing errors at 1000Mb/s.  I've not tried enabling jumbo
frames yet though.
