Can you attach the output of dmesg?
I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Upgrades apparently fixed it and removing the pcie_aspm=off parameter does not affect the situation, the driver is still functional.
OK. We'll close this out for now. If you see this issue again on 3.9.8 or newer kernels, please reopen and attach the output of dmesg.
