That is a long wait? I'm not sure why you had to wait so long a quick
check on the A320M-HDV page shows firmware updates have been coming
pretty thick and fast, every couple months or so. In all honesty you
haven't missed anything with AMDs AGESA 1002a it was very, very buggy.
The latest 1004C from AMD is very solid though.
2. Realtek do release updated drivers still bizarrely not on their website though instead you can find them
HERE. Personally I've never had an instance where the drivers coming direct from source have been missing parts.

That is odd, I've never heard of a power plan issue quite like that.
Not owning a 2200G I'm shooting from the hip a bit here but some
suggestions;
- Set power plan to high performance in Windows > click "Change plan settings" > click "change advanced power settings".
- Go to "Processor power management" > scroll to the minimum and maximum processor states, are both of them set to 100%?
Secondly, download firmware 3.4 and 4.9 from
HERE If you are already running firmware 3.4 then skip downloading that and
download 4.9. Extract the archive and place the firmware image on a FAT
formatted USB stick, reboot, enter the firmware and update to 4.9 via
Instant Flash. If you aren running a firmware older than 3.4 you MUST
update to 3.4 before updating to 4.9.
If the above doesn't work theres a few more things you can try search the firmware for and change the following;
Increase shared memory to at least 1G (if nothing else you'll have a smoother gaming experience)
See if you have a C6 mode option in the firmware, if so disable it
Look for an option labelled PSPP (PCIe Speed Power Policy) if you have one, set it to "Performance"
