Intel Killer Intelligence center "blocks" local NDIS adapter

Im using Ekahau AI Pro for WiFi site surveys, and this software uses a hardware wifi scanner Sidekick 2 connected to my computer.

It connects via a USB-C cable and has drivers installed using ethernet communication between the hardware device and laptop.

Killer Intelligence Center is active, with the following features enabled;
Killer prioritization engine, Smart access point selection + pop-up notifications, doubleshot pro and auto bandwith

 

With killer Intelligence center active with features as described above, Killer prevents communication with the hardware wifi scanner over ethernet. When i disable all killer functions the external device works again.

The local ndis6 adapter is used as a local nic, with correct drivers.

The device is always pingable, but the Ekahau application cannot connect with killer active.

 

Anyone have some tips/tricks or ideas?
