Attention: The actual netX hardware states are not stored and will be lost during power down!
On system wake-up the hardware is re-started like on system power-on. - No IA64 support
- Response times of driver calls are operating system and system load depending. Deterministic response times can’t be guaranteed

- No MSI support for CIFX cards, except for CIFX M.2 cards
IMPORTANT NOTE: Windows® is not a deterministic real-time operating system. Any response times to specific hardware or driver functions can not be guaranteed and may differ between different versions of the Windows® operating systems. Furthermore, response times are also depending on the used host hardware, host performance, running services and installed software components.
