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.

Hi,

After weeks of troubleshooting DPC latency problems on my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 laptop which were causing audio dropouts and mouse freezes every few mins I have finally tracked down the source of the issue. It appears that the Intel 82579LM based Network Controller driver may not be correctly optimised for Windows 8. I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and am using the latest Intel driver for the controller (12.6.45.0). In troubleshooting the issue I tried everything I could think of such as:

Update BIOS and all drivers to latest versions

Disable CPU and PCI Power Management in BIOS

Disabled onboard Sound (I use a separate professional audio sound card), Wifi, Bluetooth

Change power management settings to High Performance and Disabled USB selective suspend

Turn on all offloading settings on Ethernet NIC

Ran bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes

Disabling Network Location Awareness in Windows

Nothing made any noticable difference at all. I had also been noticing that my network performance had been pretty poor intermittently on this machine for a while, occasionally experiencing dropouts and low download speeds (yes I know that can be caused by many other factors but please hear me out). Every few mins on the PC I would experience a DPC latency spike of around 95000us to 100000us which would occur right when the audio dropouts, mouse freezes, and probably network pauses would occur. I use the PC for audio production amongst other things so this causes me big issues.

I was totally baffled by the problem until I ran an xperf trace in the Windows Performance Toolkit and saw that the spike was being generated from ndis.sys and tcpip.sys. That got me thinking down the lines of a network related problem so I disabled the onboard Intel(R) 82579LM based Network Controller in Device Manager in Windows 8 and what do you know the problem disappeared competely!!  No more DPC latency spikes ever (tested for hours and many times). I can do pretty much whatever I like on the PC and the problem does not reoccur. Not one single audio dropout in my Audio DAW either. The onboard Wifi is still running (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 - v15.8.0.5) providing me with network access and download speeds through the wireless nic are both much faster and more stable surprisingly (should be the other way around if anything). As soon as I re-enable the 82579LM NIC the problem is immediately back within a few mins.

I am desperate to get this fixed as I cannot use wireless all of the time. Intel can you please fix the 82579LM driver to make it fully compatible with Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. I'm sure many other people out there are having the same issue and just don't know the cause, or put up with it it as real time applications such as audio are less important to them. I have read about other people having these issues and it only appears to be with Windows 8. I think the drivers are fine for Windows 7, although I haven't confirmed this for sure.

Intel please consider patching the 82579LM NIC driver ASAP for full Windows 8 support. I can assist in providing you information if you require as I'm very keen to get this sorted.

Thanks,

Brad

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?

Hi

I'm trying to create a set-up for a simple Ethernet AVB demo.

I understand I can use the I210 NIC.

Could anyone confirm the following setup is the right way to proceed :

1. PC1 (running Linux Ubuntu in VirtualBox) with I210 NIC

2. PC2 (running Linux Ubuntu in VirtualBox) with I210 NIC

3. PC 1 and 2 with Ethernet AVB software stack (running in Linux Ubuntu in VirtualBox)

4. PC1 and 2 connected using RJ45 cable

5. Talker and Listener software application running in the VMs in the PCs sending and receiving audio samples

Is there anything missing in the above setup in order to get Ethernet AVB to work between 2 PCs?

-> What drivers are required? Do they come along with the NIC on purchase?

Is there a simpler way to achieve the same?

Thanks

I have several X710-DA2 cards in the ESXi Server. When I leave the port speed of that cars as it is everything works fine. When I try to change the speed to 10GBit I get an error message: "Forcing 1000Mbps or faster may not be supported on this network device, please use auto-negotiation instead"

After that all X710 ports go offline and I cannot be activated again. The link is down and the vmnic has a red cross.

The only way to get it working again is to Restore the ESXi configuration backup that was made before the change.

Driver/Firmware is the following:

[root@localhost:~] ethtool -i vmnic4

driver: i40e

version: 1.2.48

firmware-version: f4.22.27454 a1.2 n4.25 e143f

bus-info: 0000:0d:00.0

Any ideas?

Hi, I'd like to do SI simulation  for i210-IT PCIe.

Is there the IBIS model of i210-IT?

I couldn't find on website.

Can anyone please explain why Intel no longer supports ANS Teaming functionality in Windows 10. The latest update wreaked havoc on my system. I've spent a good money on hardware infrastructure to support an ANS Team and its been working flawless until the other day. Can anyone please explain why this happened and what can i do about it.

Is there a Windows 10 driver for Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection?  I have no internet access after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Hi All,

We experience an issue that we cannot vmkping between 2 hosts with X710 which are direct connected with DAC cables. Auto nego is not on and I think thats the problem.

• vSphere 6.0U1
• Lenovo X3650M5 with Lenovo branded X710-DA2

Ethtool gives the following information.

We want to use 10gbit with DAC direct connection between 2 hosts for vMotion.

At this moment I cannot find a solution with the X710 cards. If we cannot find a solution on time, we probably move to Broadcom.

Please advice.

I use an industrial PC from Siemens 427d IPC kind, based on an Intel 1.6Ghz processor i3-3217UE, QM77 Express Chipset with an "Ethernet Phy 82579LM" and another component 82574L Ethernet.

I want try to use an Ethernet port as EtherCAT master, which requires Fast Ethernet bidirectional @100mbps . I have one cyclic frame to transmit with 1000 bytes all 250US and to receive as return one frame of the same size in the network, the frame should be returned to RAM before the next cycle EtherCAT. I can run this using the 82574 Ethernet component but it does not work with the 82579. I tried to understand why. So I measured the time between when the driver gives the order to send and when I detect the frame start on the element connected by Ethernet. I see that time is 86,7us for 82579 and 10us for 82574 This time is used by the DMA transfer and the start of sending data through the Ethernet component If 10us sounds reasonable, 80us  is not. By consulting the documentation of 82579 component and chipset, I have not found registry to increase the speed of DMA transfer or to decrease this time. As it is a component working 1Gbps, it must be able to work faster. I have not measured the time of the return of frame information in RAM, but with a time of 86 us for the transmission of data and 86,7us for the transfer memory-> transmission start and if I suppose same time for the end of the frame transfer received-> Memory, I am very close to my 250US. Do you have a way to reduce the transfer time for a 100mbps connection for 82579LM component? A 1Gbps it seems much shorter and I would say better than the 82541.

hi,

I have this lenovo M92P computer that has an embedded Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network adapter.

the OS is windows 2012 R2

When I run a internet speed test (speedtest.net), I get 300 mbps (both up and down)

my internet connection is 1 Gbps (both up and down)

300 is really too slow.

to further isolate the problem, I plugged a " Linksys USB Ethernet Adapter USB3GIG" in one of the M92P usb3 port. I get 900+ mbps (both up and down)

so it seems that the problem is with this 82579LM chip.

What can I do to get the speed it's supposed to deliver?

I already tried to turn off any energy saving settings but that didn't help.

thanks for you suggestions

For years, my Gmail related accounts ran perfectly. Then one day, something very strange happened.

The first time I noticed this problem was when mail, I was sending, were no longer leaving my outbox; and this was for Gmail related emails ONLY, all other non-Gmail accounts sent as usual. The only time emails would go through my Gmail outbox is when they were text only (non-html).

Two of my Gmail accounts are through Google Apps, and one is a basic Gmail account; two are setup on Outlook 2010 and one is on Windows Mail (Windows 7). Everything is on the same PC. Other PCs in the same room, with the same version of Outlook and tested with the same Gmail accounts, and hooked up to the same router do not have this issue.

I checked Google's Apps Status Dashboard and everything checked out fine.

I noticed that when I disabled my Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-V and plugged in my Wireless (Linksys AE2500) dongle, emails started to leave each account's outbox again. So I unplugged the dongle and then tested with a new cable, switched router ports, etc. and still the same issue.

I assumed the Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-V was at fault so I purchased the Intel(R) Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter and installed it yesterday.

With the old Intel NIC disabled, the wireless dongle unplugged, and only the new Intel NIC now in use, I still have the same problem. Every email sent specifically from any of my Gmail accounts started to collect in the outbox once again.

I've tried to restore my system to the earliest point I found, reset internet settings, reset network settings, turn off my firewall, disable my virus protection, flushdns, etc. and no joy.

I went through the https://support.google.com/mail/topic/3398031?hl=en and did the troubleshooting with telnet, etc. only to end up with "The server errors you're experiencing are most often temporary and will resolve themselves within 24 hours. If you continue to have problems after 24 hours, visit the Gmail help forum for more assistance."

I've managed to get by with the wireless dongle, but I'd like to get this resolved.

I'm not sure what I should be checking next. It's so odd. Should I be checking a BIOS setting for the NIC?

Could anyone help meto finda contact for repair a NUCin warranty  inItaly? Thesupportdoes not answer and email, chatandtelephone contacts are not available on web site.

Thank you

hi, i would like to report that the new intel nic drivers version 19.3 that just released recently has huge 6000+ dpc latency spike once in a few secs.

my specs

Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection

windows 7 SP1 32bit + lastest windows update

i downgrade to intel nic drivers previous version 19.1 and the problem is just gone.

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.

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!
