I have updated my BIOS a few times since but always left the network as the Atheros AR8161. Doing the above fix about 3-4 months ago has fixed my issues with the network card being flaky.
I found with my own motherboard, Gigabyte M5.Sniper, the Killer NIC suite and the generic driver resulted in system instability on both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. There are numerous threads and within the past 2 months a few stickies have been added to their forums for this. Not always but enough it got a response from MSI that the Killer NIC software suite and often just the generic driver itself will result in system instability with both Windows 8 (Most often) and Windows 7(on occasion).
There is a major thread over on MSI's support forums in regards to their laptops and motherboards that incorporate the Killer NIC and Killer WLAN.
