RESPECTED SIR, ITS BEEN 10 YEARS I HAVE BEEN USING  LAPTOP WITH INTEL INSIDE AND I AM VERY HAPPY FOR IT. RECENTLY I PURCHASED A NEW LAPTOP (HP PAVILION 15 P077TX) IN WHICH I AM UNABLE TO UPDATE MY GRAPHICS DRIVER.

I KNOW I AM INSTALLING THE RIGHT ONE BUT THE MESSAGE POPS UP WHEN TRYING TO INSTALL IS THAT the version is not compaitable I DONT UNDERSTAND IT. I AM NOT A FOOL. CPU - 4210U CORE i5 INTEL - 4400 WINDOWS - 8.1 64BIT PLEASE HELP ME TO GET MY GRAPHICS DRIVER 4400HD  AN UPDATE OR PLEASE GIVE ME THE LINK OF APPROPRIATE DRIVER TO INSTALL.

MY CURRENT VERSION OF INTEL DRIVER AS PER DEVICE MANAGER IS 10.18.10.3574 LAPTOP SERIAL NO - 5CD4245B77 BIOS (Configuration):F.07-06/23/2014 (0976100000405F10000610180) Product number:J6M42PA#ACJ THE VERSION THAT I AM TRYING TO INSTALL IS - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24329

PLEASE REPLY ME WITH A SOLUTION SIR. I NEED AN UPDATE. I HAVE BEEN USING YOUR PRODUCT SINCE COUPLE OF YEARS AND I AM LOVING IT. NOTE - I HAVE CONTACTED HP COUPLE OF TIMES BUT NO SOUTION YET

My NIC stops working by showing an .  I disabled it., uninstalled, tried to update it, the problem remains the same.  Shutting down the computer or Reboot it will prompt the error message:  PXE-E05: The LAN adapter's NVM configuration is corrupted. But, it will boot properly after.

When I tried to update it, it will stop by prompting: "Cannot install drivers. No Intel(R) Adapters are present in this computer (see attachment)".  In the BIOS, I reset it to the default, checked the boot order (the NIC is the last one in the list, which is normal).  I disable WOL. The problem persists.

I don't know what to do now.  I'm wondering if resetting the Laptop to the Factory default, by the reinstalling the OS, will solve the issue?  Since it said, while updating the driver, No Intel(R) Adapters are present.  In device manager, the adapter is still present with the .

I restored my laptop to a previous Restore Point. Nothing!

If someone has a solution, please, Help!

We have two Cisco C240 servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter with X540 cards directly connected with cat 6A cord and they only run 0.1 Gbps (1%) with iperf. What am I doing wrong?

Intel site lists driver as PROWinx64.exe version: 18.4 (Latest) Date: 07/19/2013, but Cisco installed Intel driver 3.9.58.9101 7/11/2014 and it seems to work other than the performance.

Hi,

For Study and home use I build a small computer with the following components:

Mobo : Asus Intel 1150 H97M-Plus

CPU : Intel Core i3-4150

Ram : 2x Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 1600 (9-9-9) Blu 2K

PSU : Seasonic S12II-430

HDD : 2x 2TB WD Green (RAID 1)

HDD : 2x 500GB (leftovers from another computer )

HDD : 1x 1TB (leftover from another computer )

As host I installed Hyper-V 2012 R2 but as soon the sconfig.cm started my screen shows an error....No active networkcontroller detected

The light (ornage and green) on the back are working so It should be an driver error. What ever I found on the internet, it ain't working. I even switched to Server GUI version via a brand new installation to accualy be able to see what is going on and today I noticed something strange.

I downloaded the Driver cd from the Intel side here and followed instructions. On some installation point I see the driver for the I218-V nic is being installed but after a few secs the error message appears with

Cannot Install the drivers. No Intel Adapters are present in this computer.

So I tried it another way. via update driver in the Device management console. That resulted in this error:

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

Intel(R)Ethernet Connection(2)I218-V

The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.

These are untempered fresh unzipped drivers directly for the Intel site!!

I realy don't know what I can do more and I realy hope someone out here is and can point me into the correct directions

The final solution must be that I can install the drivers under Hyper-V 2012 R2.

Ill attach some screenies and the readme file from the NDIS64 folder which clearly states that those drivers in that folder are also for W2K12 R2.

Hi,

i want to know the power consumption of the I210-T1 and I350-T2 adapters cause I'm not sure

if it's right what the datasheed says.

Intel writes 0.81 Watt for the "Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I210-T1" but the "Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2" needs 4.40 Watt?

And then there is from HP the "E0X95AA Intel Ethernet I210-T1 GbE" where HP writes 3.00 Watt.

I believe the Intel and HP cards are nearly the same, so why that big difference.

Also i can use 5 "Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I210-T1" and still have lower power consumption then with 1 I350-T2?

Hello,

We have a need to be able to capture:

* The FCS field of Ethernet frames (RX_FCS in ethtool parlance)

* Bad packets, even if FCS/CRC is incorrect (RX_ALL in ethtool parlance)

* The union of both (i.e the incorrect FCS for 'bad' packets)

at 10G on Windows.

Having both of these enabled allows us to capture what we need. (I.e. An Arista switch timestamping in replace-fcs mode)

Under Linux, RX_ALL is already supported we are able to extend ixgbe to support RX_FCS (by toggling clearing CRCSTRP bits in HLREG0 and RDRXCTRL). This works perfectly (we understand this is mutually exclusive with IPSec or LinkSec)

Under Windows (Server 2008 r2) we have experimented with banging the registers directly in PCI IO space, and despite being a nasty hack, seems to work - we can capture the FCS fields under windows, as necessary with wireshark.

So my question is - how would we best go about formally requesting these as official windows/linux driver features for ixgbe? The procedure we're experimenting with is likely not suitable for production as it stands now.

Thanks,

David M

hello

iam developing board with 82579 chip.

datasheet says that this chip should be connected to the Intel 6 Series Express Chipsets.

can i connect 82579 via PCIe to CPU with integrated chipset? (Intel Atom E3826 for example)

thank you.

Intel EXPI9301CT has one copper port. What if I install two cards into one machine? Can they be put into one LACP group on Windows Server 2008 R2 (not 2012!) by means of Intel drivers? Any other teaming mode will also be enough, LACP is not a requirement.

Thanks in advance guys!

I found an issue and I've narrowed it down to the Intel driver.

Just to show the work I've put into this:

- I used iperf to test the bandwidth on all server types (Physical Linux install and inside a VM)

- I have an existing VMware support ticket and we've worked it down to the driver.

- I tested the issue with three different x540-T2 adapters and a x520-DA2 adapter.

Problem: When a server with the intel x540-T2 adapter is connected at 10Gbps and tries to transmit to another server that is connected at 1Gbps, All flows out of the 10Gbps adapter drops to a max of 1Gbps until the 1Gbps flows stop.

Let me clarify a bit:

Server A has an Intel x540-T2 adapter and is connected at 10Gbps.

Server B has an Intel x540-T2 adapter and is connected at 10Gbps.

Server C has a HP Server adapter and is connected at 1Gbps.

I start a Transmit flow from Server A to Server B and I see the iperf session reach full line rate (10Gbps)

I start a concurrent iperf flow From server A to Server C.

My expectation is that Server A will continue to transmit at 10Gbps (total), Server B will drop down 1Gbps to (8-9Gbps) to allow bandwidth for the 1Gbps flow to Server C.

BUT, this does not happen.

Server A will flop down to 1.5Gbps transmit and Server B and Server C will now receive 500-700Mbps until the flow to Server C stops then the flow from Server A to Server B goes back to 10Gbps.

Driver data:

If I use driver version 3.7.13.7  this problem does not exist!  Everything works as expected and Server A continues to transmit at 10Gbps while Server B drops to 8Gbps+ and Server C receives at a full 1Gbps.

If I Update to any version after that, it has the transmit flop.

Driver Version 3.7.13.7 is the default driver used in the ESXi 5.5 build 1331820 install ISO.

Newer version tested: (these are listed as compatible with ESXi 5.5 on the VMware compatibility guide)

3.15.1.8

3.18.7

3.19.1

I'm posting here in the hope that someone has seen symptoms like this and can

offer some insight as to what's going on.

Executive summary: We have a newly-installed E1G44ET2BLK 4-port server adapter;

following a server reboot, we found that the ethernet jacks on that card had

been reordered! How did that happen, and how do we prevent it?

Here's how ifconfig saw this card after it was installed, with an ethernet

cable plugged into the bottom jack:

igb0: flags=1000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 13

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

igb1: flags=1000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 14

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

igb2: flags=1000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 12

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

igb3: flags=1001000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,FIXEDMTU> mtu 1500 index 5

        inet 171.64.175.54 netmask fffff800 broadcast 171.64.175.255

We checked every port on the card one at a time by plugging in an ethernet

cable and running ifconfig to see which network interface showed valid link

status (the RUNNING bit). We labeled the jacks b0 through b3 on the back panel; no

surprise, they were ordered top-to-bottom, b0 to b3.

After a server reboot, ifconfig showed the following:

igb0: flags=1000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 13

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

igb1: flags=1000802<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 14

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

igb2: flags=1000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 12

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

igb3: flags=1001000843<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4,FIXEDMTU> mtu 1500 index 5

        inet 171.64.175.54 netmask fffff800 broadcast 171.64.175.255

Notice that igb3 is no longer RUNNING; igb1 shows as RUNNING, instead. Yet the

cable had not been moved! It's still plugged in to the bottom jack. What's

changed is the mapping from network device name to physical port: the bottom

jack, which used to be igb3, is now igb1. And igb1, which used to be the 2nd

jack down from the top, is now the bottom jack. Our carefully-applied labels

are now wrong!

To restore network connectivity, I had to move the cable from the bottom jack

to the 2nd jack down. This restored RUNNING status to igb3.

We can't live with network jacks that move around on our server every time

we reboot. How is this remapping happening? Is this a feature of the E1G44ET2

card? An issue with the card's firmware? A device driver or OS problem?

The OS is NexentaStor v3.1.3 Enterprise (SunOS Release 5.11, OpenSolaris

Build 134). Server node is based on the Xyratex OneStorHS 1235T chassis.

Driver version is apparently 1.1.18:

# modinfo | grep igb

179 fffffffff8084000  1e178 284   1  igb (Intel 1Gb Ethernet)

# strings /kernel/drv/amd64/igb | grep igb

igb 1.1.18

Hello,

We are currently testing the implementation of 802.1x authentication using a computer certificate on our network.

The laptops used are Dell Latitude 6220 and Dell Latitude 7240 (I218-LM and 82579LM cards) and a Targus Universal USB Docking Station. (OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1)

Hi,

I need receive packets from NIC on 10G speed with zero use CPU.

In linux there is PF_ring, but i have not found such decision in Windows

it's really to receive packets from X540 NIC direct to userland in Windows?

Need to write a driver or Intel PRO driver able this function and enough CreateFile/DeviceIOControl in our app?

I have 3 HP Z800 workstations I am installing X540-T2 card into which are teamed to 802.3ad.

The first PC has installed fine and running smooth.

PC 2 and 3 the cards installed fine and work for about 5 minutes and then shut off due to overheating. The syncs are noticeably hot to touch.

The only difference spec wise is PC 1 has a mid range card where PC 2 and PC 3 have Nvidia GTX 980 cards and sata cards installed in each.

I have taken the cards out and put them into another Z800 box that is similar to PC 1 and have not had any issues overheating. Though I was only able to test over a 1gb connection.

I am fairly certain the cards were seated correctly in all instances.

I have the most current drivers/firmware for the X540-T2 cards installed.

Cards are installed into the last slot, closet to the bottom of the case. I believe this is slot 8.

Looking for any help or guidance as to where/how to check temperatures and power to the cards. Or any other information that might help me control this overheating issue.

Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

We are facing a peculiar problem when connecting particular NICs to particular switches. The NICs will go off-line for 4-5 seconds, in irregular intervals, and then return to service as if nothing had happened. The weird thing is, we see this only on particular combinations of NICs and switches:

- Intel 82599EB, 8086:151c, only work reliably on a Nexus 4900M switch. When used on a Nexus 3064, we get a lot of those:

Sep  2 14:06:16 host kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth0: NIC Link is Down
Sep  2 14:06:21 host kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth0: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX
Sep  2 14:06:21 host kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth0: NIC Link is Down
Sep  2 14:06:23 host kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth0: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX

- Intel X540-AT2, 8086:1528, only work reliably on a Nexus 3064, When used on a Nexus 4900M, we observe the above.

All servers in question are running CentOS6. Those that are Dell have all the latest firmware and BIOS updates installed. We even tested the (then) latest Linux drivers, downloaded directly from Intel, over the ones that come with the OS, but it made no difference. Other machines in the mix are HP and custom-built, and all have one or the other NIC card.

Are there any debug tools for the NICs that could be useful here? Are there any particular options that should or should not be set?

Thanks.

I have a new Dell E5540 laptop with intel i218-lm network adapter which I normally leave connected to the network.  Whenever the laptop goes idle for a long time, I cannot access the network (IE cannot connect to any websites including intranet sites, Outlook cannot connect to O365 etc.).  Same issue for both wired and wireless.  I've updated the nic drivers and make every possible changes to prevent the laptop from hibernating/sleep.  To get this machine going again, I have to log off my profile and log on again.  Very annoying!!  I'm not sure why this action wakes up the network but it does.  Any ideas how I can fix this once and for all aside from dumping it in the garbage?

Hi All,

I would like to do silent installation of Intel network adapter drivers in the network for some users; i have created .msi file but it is not working for me.

Is there anyone who can help me to that how can i get working .msi for PROSETDX.msi (network driver for i217V Ethernet Adapter)

Thanks a lot in advance

Cheers,

Hi

I have a question surrounding the native NIC Teaming in Windows Server 2012 R2 with regards to the i350 Quad Port adapters.

In our Hyper-V implementation, we have 3 x quad port NICs per Hyper-V Cluster node.

With two of these adapters, we have balanced a Switch Independent / Dynamic (Sum of Queues mode) team across 4 of these ports for our VM Switch. Here's the thing... two of these ports are on one physical adapter and the other two ports are in the second physical adapter. Each port has VMQ enabled with suitable processor core allocations for a Sum of Queues team. VMQ is required as the team is connected to a VM Switch which is then supporting a reasonable number of Virtual Machines.

The remaining 4 ports in these two adapters (2 in one card and 2 in the other) are then allocated to iSCSI MPIO use for access to our SAN. These remaining ports have RSS enabled.

The questions I have are as follows:

A) What is Intels Stance when mixing RSS and VMQ modes on different ports, on the same physical adapter?

B) Is splitting a VMQ enabled NIC team between ports from physical NICs supported by Intel when using the native Windows NIC Teaming in Server 2012 R2?

We are seeing intermittent latency issues and packet loss from within virtual machines with VMQ enabled. Disabling VMQ does work around the issue, however this isn't really a solution.

Are there any known issues with these adapters when using Virtual Machine Queues?

Kind Regards

Matt

I have a realtek PCI LAN card RTL8139C that works just fine on my Ivy bridge platform with Win7, I now moved to a new Haswell platform and my LAN card can't be detected neither on Win7 nor Win8.1.

I use a PCIe-to-PCI bridge to connect the LAN card to the Haswell platform.

Is there a known compatibility issue with this LAN card and the Haswell platform?

I use the same PCIe-to-PCI bridge card on the Ivy bridge where there is no issue.

Is there a BIOs update or rollback to workaround this issue?

I tried a few more LAN cards from different vendors and none of them work.

Is there some restriction when using PCIe-to-PCI bridges on this Haswell platform?

I already disabled the ASPM to workaround the known bug on this platforms.

Regards.
