Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter / Windows 10

I upgraded Windows 7 too Windows 10, but I miss the ProSet features in the Win10 Device-Manager. I tried to install a lot of drivers without success. It tells me I have no Intel-Adapter installed....

Will there be a "full" driver support for my adapter in the near future?

Thank You


I211/I217-V Windows 10 LACP teaming fails

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

Linux ixgbevf multiqueue support

Realize I posted this to an answered question earlier. Thought I might get a response with a new discussion:

 

We are running 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port NICs with the 4.1.2 Linux driver. Is it still the case that the driver only supports two queues pairs per VF? The driver documentation [1] seems to say the VFs will use pools with up to 8 queue pairs is this not correct? If not, are there plans to support more than 2 queue pairs per VF?

Ethernet problems I218-V

Hi everybody.

 

Lately I've been experiencing lots of troubles with my wired connection on my new windows 10 computer. Connection keeps dropping every now and then. Plus, when it is working, I noticed that the speed is significantly decreased (I hired a 10 mb/s broadband but I am getting about 2.5 mb/s these days). My knowledge in computering is quite basic and limited, so I tried several things I found on different sites. Nothing seems to put things right for me so far, so I decided to try in this community...

 

The first thing I tried was looking up for new ethernet drivers. And here is the first curious thing: although the latest driver version published on the download center is 20.4.1, after I run the installation wizard it keeps showing a different version. Why? I have no idea.

 

I also tried running a command prompt, "netsh winsock reset". It kind of scared me at first because it somehow disabled my mouse drivers , but after fixing those, I had a look at the internet and the connection problems persist.

 

If I run the troubleshoot thing it keeps pointing at a "default gateway" issue. I am not sure what that is, but everywhere I look on the internet people talk about drivers and w10 being flawed.

 

Does anyone have any new inputs? I'd appreciate some new ideas. The computer is quite new, I don't like struggling with all this after such a short time enjoying it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Unable to update i350-T4 NIC flash.

I've been trying to update the flash on an Intel i350-T4 NIC I got off Amazon but for some reason bootutil won't let me.

 

First when I just run bootutil it show all four ports on the card to be in "FLASH not present" mode.

 

When I run "bootutil -nic=1 -fe" it says the command has succeeded and to reboot to enable flash. After a reboot nothing has changed and trying to update the flash with "bootutil -nic=1 -up=pxe -file=bootimg.flb" results in a "Flash is not enabled on port 1" error (using the Intel bootutil) or an "Adaptor port is not bootable on port 1" error is using an IBM or Dell version of bootutil.

 

Trying to execute "bootutil -nic=1 -bootenable=pxe" with either Dell or IBM bootutil gives the same "Adaptor port is not bootable on port 1" error. Using the Intel bootutil for the same commands gives a "Found discrete ROM in the flash for NIC 1" error.

 

I'm at a loss as to how to update the flash. Tried to get the Cisco version of bootutil to see if that worked any better but the Cisco support site is a mess and won't let me login to download their tools.

 

Does anybody have any suggestion on any other version of bootutil to use or anything else to try to update the flash on this card? I tried to contact the Amazon vendor to find out exactly what system manufacturer's server this card was taken out of but haven't had any luck yet.

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?

Windows 8.1 Ethernet Dropping

Hello there,

 

I have recently bought the desktop HP ENVY 750-079NA. The system is Windows 8.1 (64 bit). The problem is that the Ethernet randomly drops out about ten times a day. Also, the Ethernet is re-connected quickly after each internet dropping. I have checked the network adapter and it shows that the adapter is up-to-date. The network adapter is Intel (R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260. I also tried a lot of possible methods for solving the Ethernet dropping but they do not work.

 

So, I do really appreciate if anyone could help me in figuring out this problem.

 

Many thanks.

I217-LM - no RSS possible under Win 8.1 Pro x64 - driver setting without effect

Hi,

 

I'm using an ASRock Rack EPC612D8A-TB motherboard with two Intel onboard NICs (I210 (Ethernet 2) and I217-LM (Ethernet)), running Win 8.1 Pro x64 with all Windows Updates installed and the latest Intel Ethernet driver package (20.2.3001.0). My problem is with the I217-LM, according to the Intel spec sheet it does support RSS (cp. figure on page 2).

In the I217-LM's advanced driver settings there is an option to enable and disable RSS. However Windows itself always says that the I217-LM is not RSS-capable.

i217-lm-no-rss-womac.png

The same option in the I210 driver options has the expected effect: With the PowerShell command get-SmbClientNetworkInterface you can see the RSS capability changing from True to False and vice versa.

 

Can anyone tell why the I217-LM is not getting the RSS feature?

 

Further system details:
CPU: Xeon E5-1620-V3

RAM: 2 x 16 GiB Crucial DDR4-2133 ECC

The motherboard does not have a later BIOS/UEFI release than the one installed.

 

Thank you very much for your help!

XL710 VF and loopback

I have an XL710 VSI that is running in a VF and uses RSS queuing across multiple queues on input. In fact there are 4 RSS queue sets in the VF. For various reasons I want to put frames on each XMIT queue in the VF and loop them back to the matching RCV queue. I have modified the VSI to set the "Allow destination override" bit in the ADD_VSI command. I've also set the SWTCH  field in the context transmit descriptor to 11b and set the TARGET_VSI field to the VSI id. This all then works in that the transmitted frame is looped back to a receive ring. But there is a catch. Frames put on transmit queues 0 thru 3 all end up being looped back to the rcv ring of rcv queue 0, instead of back to the appropriate matching rcv queue eg  Xmit 3 to Rcv 3. Can anything be done about this?

Intel X520-DA2 10Gb nic down state in Vmware 5.x

Hi to all, I'm new here, I'm trying to find a solution or someone that can help me to a issue that is taking me no slep.

I've a Synology SAN with a 10Gb Synology adapter with a direct attach cable HP spf+ cable and a DL80 HP Server mounting an X520-DA intel 10Gb dual board.

All the components where bough according with compatibility table on Synology site for a direc attached 10Gb storage.

 

Compatibility - Synology - Network Attached Storage (NAS)

 

I'm using Vmware Vsphere 5.5 (tried also 6.0), when i attach directly spf cable on San and Intel board lights go on in both board. If i see into SAn's networking i can see "connected" behind the 10Gb nic...but in Vmware the Intel Nic is in Down state. In this way i can't use it for direct attach storage.

I've read about some firmware problems...but i'm unable to understand how to update firmware of the Intel Nic and where to find the right one. This is a NON branded X520-DA so i need the intel one.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

FreeBSD and Intel XL710 10G

Hi all,

I've installed FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE on a server with 2*CPU E5-2643v3 (with HyperThreading on) and Intel XL710 4*10G SFP+ card.

Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM (WinPE drivers)

Hi everyone,

 

We purchased a few DELL Optiplex 9020s that came with an Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM ethernet controller, and I've been unable to find the correct WinPE x64 drivers for this adapter.

From the Download Center I found what I thought were the correct drivers. In the EXE, I found some WinPE drivers, but apparently these aren't it as I'm not able to connect to my network when I boot up using WinPE.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the correct drivers please?

 

Thanks!

Intel 82579LM drops to 10Mbps from Gigabit, refuses to go back

Ive got the Intel DQ67EP board with the Intel 82579LM onboard NIC.  Ive got the machine running Windows7 64bit.  Ive got this problem where randomly it drops from Gigabit to 10Mbps and will never negoiate back to gigabit.  I can disconnect the cable, reconnect it, dont work.  I can plug that same cable into another machine like my Lenovo T420 laptop, and it has no issues connecting gigabit, so I know its not the cable, or port, or Hub.  However still plugged into a different port of the hub, still dont work.  Plugged it into a different hub, still dont work, still keeps sitting at 10Mbps.

 

Ive rebooted it, still negoiates at 10Mbps.  Shut the PC down, wait 1min, turn it on, still sitting at 10Mbps.  So at this point dont believe its driver.  I have the latest 16.5 running on the Windows.

 

ONLY way I can get this working is one of two ways.  I have to unplug power, not just shut it down.  I need to kill power from the board entirely.  Wait 10secs, then plug it back in.  Then upon starting up, its set to gigabit with no issues.  Other way is to change a setting in Bios which when you exit/save it causes it to kill power to the board for a second.  So the fact that killing power to the board fixes it, tells me its some hardware or firmware level issue, clearly not the driver.

 

Now to explain when it happens, I do have the machine set to sleep and wake at certain times.  Most of the time it sleeps fine, wakes up fine and still sits at Gigabit.  Theres no explanation on how many times it takes before it decides to go into some stuck state of only negoiating at 10Mbps.  Even going into Device Manager and setting it to 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps, Half or Full duplex does nothing.  It disconnects the Link and Reconnects but only sits at 10Mbps.  Im normally connected via the IntelAMT via RealVNC.

 

Ive updated from the 0054 bios to 0055 last week so Im also on the latest Bios revision.

 

What causes this to get in such a stuck state that only killing power to the board fixes this?

Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection driver problem

upgraded my previous build of Win 10 Pro (64bit) to the new November 10  Update .

now after the update i have new problem When I start my computer (nearly everyday now, but not in the beginning) I can't connect to the internet. I get the message that my network driver adapter is missing (intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection adapter is experiencing driver-or-hardware - related problem). It does not show so i reboot sometimes it comes sometime so for solution i go to device manager locate ethernet  intel adapter then disable it and enable it then it works. So for this reason I had lost my internet connectivity. Already updated driver to latest version (Manually). Kindly help it is very frustrating to do this silly things again and again thanks in advance


Problems of IPv6+UDP/TCP, IPv4 and IPv6 RSS on XL710 NIC

The Fodora 20 system was installed with quad-port XL710 NIC. By default, the NIC driver creates 4 queues per port and both IPv4+UDP/TCP(udp4/tcp4) and IPv6+UDP/TCP(udp6/tcp6) for RSS are enabled. It loads IPv4+UDP/TCP traffic with different IPs to different queues(cores).

But All IPv6+UDP/TCP traffic with different IPs was directed to only one queue(one core).  Reconfiguration of  rx-flow-hash for udp6 or tcp6 by ethtool did not solve the issue.

The other problem is all IPv4 or IPv6 traffic with different IPs was also directed to only one queue when only IPv4 or IPv6 RSS enabled.
