I'm trying to install windows server 2016 standard, or 2012 R2 standard on a NUC6i3SYH but can't get the ethernet adaper to install correctly. I tried the latest 2012 R2 driver, windows 8, and windows 10 driver, and all say "cannot install the drivers. no intel adapters are present" when trying to install! Any suggestions?

I have a server with ESXi 6.5 installed and  an Intel XL710 Adapter with the 1 meter breakout cable to give me four 10Gb connections. My ESXI server only sees the two 40Gb ports and not the 10Gb connections. How can I fix this? I need to use the 10Gb connections individually. Thanks. 

How do you enable promiscuous mode on l219-LM updating drive does not seem to help

Latest Intel Network Connections versions - NCS2Prov.exe constantly generating millions of I/O calls scanning the C drive for all *.INF files

$

Platform is a Dell E6520 Latitude

NIC is the Intel 82579LM GigE

Windows 7 Enterprise x64, fully patched and up to date

Drivers are the latest available from the Intel site.

 

After updating to the latest version of the Intel Network Connections (INC) v20.7, 201.0 and 21.1 there is a problem when

the Configure button in the NIC properties is selected. Among other things this launches the ncs2prov.exe with this command line.

     "C:\Program Files\Intel\NCS2\WMIProv\NCS2Prov.exe" -Embedding

This program spends the next several minutes issuing millions of I/O calls to enumerate items in the registry and then scan what appears to be most of the C: drive looking for every *.INF it can find among other things...

 

Tracing this with ProcMon from the MS System Internals tools counts >3.5 million events just from launching the program.  If the machine did not have an SSD, this process would have likely taken a VERY long time in the range of tens of minutes at least I would think.  As it is, it takes a minute or two where the machine appears to be not responding to the Configure request at first launch.

 

I have tried all three of the latest versions as describe, but they all have the same issue.  Once the program is loaded finally, selecting a different tab starts the same behavior over again and a single tab can take minutes to display and update.  A tab change generates about 2.1 million events each time...

 

Does anyone know how to stop this behavior?  Why is it scanning the entire C: drive looking for *.INF files?  It is not actually reading their contents most of the time that I can see, it just rescans the C: looking for them....  I know what the .INF and .CAT files are for and generally understand at least the basics of installing drivers and their support files.

 

It does not appear that it actually has anything to do with the hardware platform, but is a problem with the INC software running on Windows 7 x64.

 

Any thoughts as to how to stop this would be appreciated.  We can switch back to even older versions, if we knew where the problems were introduced.  Apparently this has existed for a year or maybe more based on the version we have tested thus far.  The drivers overall work well and are much better that the official Dell drivers which do not allow most of the hardware features of the NIC driver to be exposed.  (RSS, R/W buffers, TCP checksum off-loads, disable EEE, etc...)  They are performing at ~60% of the network wire speed instead of about 35% with the OEM drivers.

 

Thank you,

I am planning on getting a Asrock Rack E3C236D2I server motherboard, and the two on-board gigabit NIC's it has are the Intel i210 and the intel i219.

 

Just want to check both the i210 and the i219 both support VLAN tagging. Planning on using Windows Server 2016 essentials.

 

Also what is the difference between the i210 and the i219 Chipsets?

X710 MAC Filtering

$

Hi,

 

I have a system with an Intel X710 (supermicro onboard card).

 

There is a somewhat unusual configuration on this system, but this does work everywhere else I've seen (including other intel cards on other systems):

 

I have an interface, with two vlans, eg:

eth0.10

eth0.11

 

If I configure eth0.10 with a specific mac address, it appears that something happens in the driver/hardware level that prevents the network card from receiving (tcpdump does not see them) packets with that source mac address, even when they are coming in vlan11

 

Running the latest driver (not the OS-included one): 1.6.42

OS is Ubuntu Linux, 14.04.5 with 4.4 kernel    

 

 

Any idea how to disable this behavior?

 

Thanks,

-Adam

Configure wake on magic packet from power off state (Wake on Lan)

Hi Guys

 

I have several hundred Lenovo M73 with Intel i217-V lan adapters I am wanting to configure WOL on.

 

When install drivers in this case 12.12.218.0 via SCCM,  the option "Configure wake on magic packet  from power off state" is not enabled. When manually enabling this Wake on Lan works perfectly.

 

 

 

 

I have not been able to find a simple way to bulk enable this, I did find this ageing link however "prosetcl" does not seem to be installed anymore leaving me to believe there is another way?

Wake on Magic Packet from power off state

 

Can someone please explain how to remotely configure this via GP, registry or script.

 

Cheers

I210 Multiple VLAN on Windows Server

Hello,

 

Is it possible to have multiple VLAN ID in Intel I210 network card on Windows Server 2016 ?

I installed the Intel drivers but apparently you can only define one VLAN ID?

VLAN adapter not working after reboot - Win10, 22.0.1

$

Following all the events at I211/I217-V Windows 10 LACP teaming fails and networking - USB to Ethernet adapter supporting multiple virtual LANs - Hardware Recommendations Stack Exchange, we now have an Ethernet driver that should properly support the Intel Advanced Networking Suite (iANS) under Windows 10.

 

Using Windows 10.0.14393 with all updates installed, with an I217-LM adapter and the 22.0.1 driver installed.  Things seem to be very flaky.  My focus here is primarily on being able to work with multiple VLANs, with no trunking at present.

 

First - when creating new VLANs, ensure that the "Network Connections" window or any similar windows other than the "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection * Properties" dialog are closed.  Not doing so will frequently result in the operation hanging indefinitely.  (I remember the same from when we had the working drivers here in Windows 7 and Windows 8 days.)  Even with the other windows closed, sometimes it is taking almost 5 minutes to create a new VLAN - but it takes even longer to do so with the "Network Connections" window open (if it completes at all).

 

With this out of the way:  Add a new VLAN10.  Only once one VLAN is created can we then create the "Untagged VLAN" (ID 0).  Reboot.  Everything still works and comes back up as expected.

 

Add a 2nd tagged VLAN, say VLAN11.  Reboot.  The "Untagged VLAN" fails to pull a DHCP lease.  The virtual adapter shows packets being sent and received.  I ran Wireshark on the Untagged VLAN adapter, saw DHCPDISCOVER packets go out, and other unrelated broadcasts and packets coming back - but no DHCPOFFERs returned.  I.E., it seems to be missing traffic in that state.  Disable the Untagged VLAN adapter, re-enable, and it instantly comes back with a valid lease.  This is constantly repeatable.  Nothing is even connected to the other side of these VLANs yet (the connected switchport isn't even trunked).  Remove the 2nd tagged VLAN leaving only one tagged VLAN and the untagged, and things work much better - but this kind of defeats the purpose.

 

Here's my ugly hack of a work-around for now:  Add a Windows Scheduled Task to run at System Startup, and to run with highest privileges.  Use a PowerShell similar to the following as the action:

 

$(  Get-Date  Write-Host "Starting..."  ipconfig.exe /all  Write-Host "Restarting..."  Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet - Untagged" -Confirm:$false  ipconfig.exe /all  Get-Date  Write-Host "Done."
) *>&1 > C:\FixIntelNetwork.log

 

I was worried about timing, and could add a 30 second delay or such in the startup trigger.  However, the ipconfig outputs show that this wasn't necessary.  In the first ipconfig output, the adapter was present and already had an auto-configured 169.254.x.y IP address.  In the second ipconfig output, a proper DHCP lease was shown.

 

As I don't have anything on the other VLANs to test with yet, I still need to determine - but may have to reset the other VLAN interfaces at startup as well.

VLAN creation on Windows 10 Enterprise TP

Hello, there.

 

This morning I upgraded my fully functionnal Windows 8.1 Enterprise installation to Windows 10 Technical Preview. Before that, I downloaded the Intel Network Adapter Driver from this website, version 20.1, for Windows 10 64 bits. After the driver installation, I had the VLANs tab in the network card properties. However, i'm unable to create a VLAN. The network card is automatically disabled then I receive an error message saying this (translated from french):

 

One or more vlans could not be created. Please check the adapter status and try again.


The window freezes and I have to force-close it. 802.1 option is of course enabled in the Advanced options tab. The event viewer always shows the same error when I try to create a VLAN:

I already tried to uninstall all the packages and drivers related to the network card. I deleted fantom network cards then cleaned up the registry. I tried to set some compatibility options to the given executable file, with no success. I tried to reinstall the driver with Drivers Signature disabled, tried to disable IPv4/IPv6 from the network card before trying to add a VLAN... I tried everything I found on Google.

 

Could someone help me, please?

Intel 82579v - Code 10 - media disconnected

After long shutdown and then power up ( eg. Power up in morning ) 82579v adapter shows Windows driver code 10 - with media disconnected status in ipconfig.

Shutdown and restart does not fix.  Hard power off while machine running, wait 60 seconds and power on usually fix.  Bio reset default also fix.

Problem re-occurs if machine is shutdown and powered off for a few hours.

 

It is not cabling or router since problem is resolved by one of the above power cycle steps.

 

Configuration:

  Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V Pro

  Bios: Asus 2104 ( latest )

  OS: Windows 10-x64

  Network Driver: Intel 12.5.31.4  / ProSet 21.1.30.0

 

Applied NVRam update ( 82579VSKU ) adapter is now 82579V - no longer bounces to LM.

Tried:

  Older BIOS

  Microsoft Windows 10 Driver

 

Problem appears similar to:

Internet keeps dropping, Win10

Hi,

 

My internet keeps dropping every 10 minutes or so, it's a new computer with an ASRock B250M Pro4 motherboard, and a wired ethernet connection. My phone does not have any problems with the same router, neither did my previous computer.

 

I've read a bunch of solutions around the web, the main one is to go to Device Manager -> the network adapter -> Properties -> Power Management, and then turn off the "Allow the computer to save power" option.

 

This option wasn't there, and my settings looked something like this http://i.imgur.com/PBgPCSs.png which I assume is because the driver is newer than when that solution was proposed. I turned all the options in this dialog off, and it made no difference. I

 

I then installed several different versions of the drivers on the intel site, some with the "save power" option, and none of them stopped the issue from occurring.

 

What are my next steps?

X710 L2 filter packet steering

$

0

Hello,

I am trying to  use the x710 MAC/VLAN filtering option to steer packets to receive queues based on strict MAC address match.

I need to filter and steer around 100 MAC addresses to 8 receive queues.  Because of the development environment constraints I cannot use

SRIOV, IOV, VEB or flex partitioning.

 

My configuration is as follows:

Default simple switch configuration

One PF and one VSI with 8 queues

RSS, Ether type and Flow director filters are disabled and MAC/VLAN filter is  enabled.

I am  setting toQueue flag to steer packets to the appropriate queue.

 

However I don't see packets getting steered to the desired queue. Packet steering is not happening and packets always  land  on the same queue.

Do I need to configure the switch with "Set Switch" command to get filtering work as described above?

How do I initialize the VSI to support the above flow.

Are there any other other configuration settings that need to be done to get the packets steered as described above?

 

Thanks,

Sony

When I install the driver ver 21.1 Download Intel® Network Adapter Driver for Windows® 10  I get a message

 

"Important Note:  Creating Intel® ANS teams and VLANs on Microsoft Windows® 10 is currently not supported.  As a result, when created, teams and VLANs do not pass traffic.  We expect that ANS will be supported on Microsoft Windows 10 client in a future release"

 

I dont need teaming etc...but once the driver is installed, I dont see WOL in the ADVANCED option  ???

 

Where is the WOL feature???

L2 VM using SRIOV with 82599ES

$

Hi,

 

I am trying to run a VM that wont have an ip address but instead will work in transparent mode (like a cable). I have a PF that has 7 VFs on it and some of these VFs are part of VLAN x and some VLAN y. Here are my issues:

 

1. I see that the bcast traffic is sent to all VFs regardless, can I change it so that only bcast for the related VLAN arrives on th VF?

2. As the traffic that I generate has a different dest IP/MAC than my transparent VM, the VF should be in promiscuous mode. Is it enough to set "trust on" with ip link?

 

What I am trying to do is, to pass the traffic from VM1 to VM2 over the transparent VM.

VM1 --  TransparentVM -- VM2

 

Thanks,
