Hi,

For a study, I would like to know the differences between two Intel Network driver versions (example: delta changes/fixes/improvements from v18.6 and v21.1)

In the Intel websites, I don't get this information. can you please update from where can I get these information?

Appreciate your help!


gigabyte ct desktop adapter

For my old XP box, installed ref'd adapter & drivers and have since been experiencing connectivity issues.  When it works it is fantastic but periodically drops connection with msg "Network cable is unplugged".   By going to Device Mgr and changing any setting on the adapter, it will re-connect & everything is fine until next time.  The exact model is  Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45 (there wasn't an installation CD).  The BIOS tab is asking to be flashed but I have no idea where that file might be (The Driver Update Utility has problems with XP).  The downloads page on the support site has no link to an installation CD which I believe is called "Ethernet Adapters Connections CD".  The one link I was able to find doesn't indicate support for this adapter.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  TIA

Multiple 82574L Initialize failures

According to the spec update multiple 82574L controllers have an SMBus address conflict.

" 7. SMBus ARP Fails with Multiple Devices Because Different UDIDs Collide "

 

I'm guessing this is the reason that I can no longer access the control/status registers of either of my Ethernet controllers. I'd like to assign the address manually per the spec update but I cannot access the control registers. Every time I try I get the following error:

 

Port Network Address Location Series  WOL Flash Firmware Version

==== =============== ======== ======= === ================

  1   (Cannot initialize adapter)

  2   (Cannot initialize adapter)

 

Any suggestions on how to disable ARP when the adapter won't initialize?

 

Thanks!

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

Receive side scaling

$

Hi,

I have few clarifications on the Receive side scaling (RSS) setting in a Windows 7 OS. I want to disable the RSS because it gives some performance issues, so executed the command "netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled" and when I checked at the Network adapter properties, I still see the Recieve side scaling is enabled.

1. I would like to understand the difference between setting the RSS disabled using the command and disabling the same using the Network adapter properties. (How it works, which takes priority)

2. Is there any known issues if the RSS is disabled using the command line.

 

please share any info on this topic.

Appreciate your help!

Missing Advanced Network Service option during install

I'm upgrading some of my servers that have Intel X520-DA2 nics in them.  I'm installing Server 2016 Standard.  I've downloaded the latest Prowinx64 (v22.0.1).  When I install I don't have the option for Advanced Network Service, so I can't do NIC teaming.  I could/am doing NIC teaming with X520 on Server 2012R2 Standard.  Is there something else I need to download or install?

 

Thanks,

 

Voltage levels are not as per the specs of I210

Hi,

 

We are using Intel's Atom processor with Springville I210 controller as Ethernet PHY.

The PCIe port of Atom processor is connected to Springville to convert PCIe into MDI signals which are then connected to an Ethernet PHY switch.

 

We are using this link at a speed of 100Mbps.

 

Concern here is that, the voltage levels of MDI signals which are coming out from Springville is around 5V pk-pk. This is not as per the standard specs of MDI signals.

 

Can any one please suggest if any settings has to made to correct this,

I211/I217-V Windows 10 LACP teaming fails

$
0
0

Hello,

 

after the update to Windows 10 (x64, Build 10240) the creation of a teaming group (static or IEEE802.3ad) with a I211+I217-V NIC fails.

 

Drivers have been upgraded to the latest version available and multiple reinstallations with reboots din't help either. Whenever the group creation wizzard is used and a groupname (several tried), the adapters and LACP have been selected, a Windows pop-up appears to tell me group creation has failed.

However the Windows Device Manager shows a newly created "Intel Advanced Network Services Virtual Adapter", so some kind of configuration seems to get done.

Using Windows 7 SP1 x64 the exact same setup worked flawlessly for months, so Win10/the driver are the likely culprit.

 

Is anyone experiencing similar problems and/or is this a known bug? Feedback on this issue is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Kind regards,

Famaku

Digital signature Broken on latest Intel ProSet 21.1 Drivers??

$
0
0

I was installing the latest drivers for my motherboard, I211 + I219-V on a fresh W10 x64, the 21.1 package.

 

I219-V work fine

 

But the new Drivers for I211 (at least, maybe others too) inside ProSet 21.1 are signed ¿Wrong? by INTELNPG1, and Windows refuse them with the classical Error 52.

 

ProSet 21.0, in other hands, work fine, the sign are correct. issued not by INTELNPG1, but Intel(R) Intel Network Drivers.

 

Not a drama, but it would be nice to install a properly signed driver to use it.

 

More strange, Drivers for I219-V are signed by INTELNPG1 too, and work fine (same cert)

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

$
0
0

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,

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:

I am designing a system that will use the x550.  I want to have the future possibility of IEEE 1588 precision time protocol.  The SDP (software defined pins) of the x550 will be connected to an FPGA for this purpose.  Is it important to have an ultra accurate clock source on the x550 for 1588?  Or does the FPGA require this clock source?
