Well, I really really after all this years with hardwareexperience should have known better....

The ZOTAC Board turned out to be a complete disaster. It is getting to hot by far, BIOS showed 75° Celsius after half an hour using and I fear to burn up all the other components and the mainboard. In addition I was not able to get SNAP nor Panorama to get usable with the graphic chipset NVidia ION, both very poor.
And yes, the same problems with the WLAN Adapter as with the IntelMUD Board. I wonder if it may be a problem of the WLAN Adapters itself. The first I used (Intel 4965 and 3945) have been IBM branded (I used them with succes with the Lenovo X200T) and I tried a Dell one as well - the Dell Intel 3945 is not even recognized by GENMAC (fails to load).
So my guess with the ACPI was wrong as well, I did test eCS 2.1 with ACPI 3.18 that made no difference regarding WLAN. Sorry for this.
Lantran.log with the IBM ones on the ZOTAC showed:

So I will return the ZOTAC tomorrow and fall back to the Intel for further testing and investigation.
Cheers
