Acer Altos T11o F3 Server plus Intel server Adapter I340 F4

I have installed a Smoothwall Linux System but I am unable to boot from the harddisk due to PXE trying three times to boot from the internet then only option is to cycle back. The BIOS is version P11 and although previous BIOS versions provided a setting on the first page to turn off PXE, I can't find same on P11.

I believe BootUtil.exe -ALL -FD will disable all adapters, but I have no experience and have no idea how to run the app in my present circumstances.

Your advice would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Kevin.

Intel ethernet drivers v.20.7.1 NDIS62 - crashing SCCM 2012

Had an issue with the latest v.20.7.1 intel ethernet driver download, for which I attempted to load the NDIS62 driver into SCCM 2012 (v.5.0.8239.1000) driver database, which crashed the system.  Tried this in both a test environment and live environment and had the same effect in both.

 

Just a warning to Intel development team and any other users trying to do the same thing!

CVE-2015-2291 Intel Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver IOCTL DoS

$

A vulnerability in iqvw32.sys and iqvw64e.sys drivers has been discovered in the Intel Network Adapter Driver. Intel Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver is prone to multiple local buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. 

 

An attacker can exploit these issues to crash the affected application; denying service to legitimate users. Due to the nature of this issue, code-execution may be possible but this has not been confirmed. 

 

Note: This issue was previously titled 'Intel Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver CVE-2015-2291 Multiple Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities'. The title and technical details have been changed to better reflect the underlying component affected.

 

When will a vendor-supplied patch be available?

poor network performance when using X520-DA2

I´ve got a problem with a server connection using the following combination:

 

IBM Server SystemX 3450 Typ:7379-K4G (PCIE x8 slot, 25w), running Windows Server2008R2

Intel Network Adapter X520-DA2

Intel TwinAxial Cable 3m (XDACBL3M)

D-Link switch DGS-1510-52


Problem:

10Gbit Link is up, but the performance is like 10Mbit. Gigabit connection with the internal adapter is much faster!

Even when i try to open the management gui of the adapter it takes several seconds to open and everything seems to be very slow.

As i don´t use them i tried to disable the IPv6 but this didn´t have any effect.


Any ideas?


Thank you in advance! :-)

X710: DCB (PFC - priority flow control) problem

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

We have 16 X710 NICs on our different servers. We require to enable PFC (priority flow control) on a specific VLAN priority (like priority #5) on all of the NICs. However, the X710 handles lldp and dcb at the HW level and will not be managed by SW tools like dcbtool as its document says. We noticed that the willing bit is set to 1 for the NICs which means that they can accept configuration from other nodes over DCBX.

 

So we configured our switches (DELL N4000 series) to advertise PFC configurations to the Intel NICs. But when we set switch to advertise the configuration it wont recognize the NICs as PFC enabled NICs, and when we  configure switches to accept configuration from NICs, it gets a configuration which dictates no PFC (all priorities can be dropped).

 

When we test the switch with other Intel NICs like i520 it is ok, and it works (after configuring the NICs with dcbtool) as expected.

 

So please help us,

we should configure them ASAP.

 

Is there any trick to disable HW DCBX and make NIC to pass the DCB/LLDP messages to the OS and later use dcbtool.

 

If not how should we configure it then?

 

Regards,

The 40Gb modes can no longer be selected using the qcu64e utility since the firmware upgrade from 4.42 to 5.02. Only 4x10 and 2x2x10 options are offered but the XL710-QDA2 card is QSFP+ capable.

We are using the i40e driver 1.4.25 on Redhat 6: 2.6.32-573.18.1.el6.x86_64 kernel

It looks like there is currently no way to downgrade the firmware, which make the cards that are now stuck in 4x10 unusable for us.

Hi all,

 

I cannot figure out why I cannot enable SR-IOV on Intel Xeon-D 1541's X552 10gbe NIC, it must be the intel's latest ixgbe driver issue because on the same SoC board, the Intel i350 1gbe NIC's sr-iov can be enabled.

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

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

x710 disconnections

On my servers on Windows 2012 R2, I have a x710 with random disconnection with two scenarios.

 

1- During the windows startup, I see many error in the event viewer related to disconnections .

 

2- Going to the properties of the drivers, cause the nic to disconnect.

 

 

I have all lastest drivers and firmware. On the same server we have Mellanox Connectx 4 without any of these issues.

I210 AVB Timers

$
0
0

Hello All,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post my question and I would be thankful if someone can point me to the correct one if the question is not relevant.

The question I want to ask is related to the Intel i210-AT chip which I am using for my Industrial solution. I am writing a new Linux driver for the External NIC, which has the i210 chip, for handling packets in a time critical network.

I am using the Time SYNC (section 7.8 in the Intel® Ethernet Controller I210 Datasheet) registers i.e. SYSTIM, TRGTTIML/H0 and TRGTTIML/H1 to create timers using the method explained in "7.8.3.3.1 SYSTIM Synchronized Level Change Generation on SDP Pins"

The timers created are used by the Linux drivers to synchronize the packet transmission in the SR mode (i.e. using launchTime).

I have completed the implementation and the setup works fine if the timers are created in a non-periodic sequence. The problem arises if I try to reset the values or increment the timeout for the timers periodically where the period is lesser than the timeout values.

I am not sure if I have presented my problem correctly here. I would be happy to share other details to clarify the implementation details.

 

Regards,

Gaurav

 

i210 FLUPD bit set by write to EEWR? / datasheet description for EELOADCTL and EELOADERR

$

Hello,

 

I've got an i210 connected to an SoC and for production I'd like to write the external eeprom via PCIe:

- I map the config space and access the IO area via the config space registers 0x98/0x9C

- The semaphore and sync between FW/SW seems to work

- I write the config (0x80 16bit words) to the SRAM and can read it back, checksum is 0xbaba

 

Triggering the flash write via FLUPD fails: FLUPD is already set to one by the first write to the SRAM?

After the first SRAM write via EEWR, EEC reads: 0x482a00, is this correct?

When will FLUPD be reset? By whom?

 

 

Also I'd like some more documentation on two registers:

Chapter 8.4.2 describes EELOADCTL:

This register provides software EEPROM-mode load status.

All bits are RW to FW, RO to host - excepted to bit 12.

Then it gives a short table for bit0 all ohters are reseved, a second, completely different table describes bits 0:32.

In chapter 8.4.5 EELOADCTL is described a second time with a single sentence.

EELOADERR is in chapter 8.4.4 but there's no description of the bits (table missing?)

 

Can you please provide me the missing/correct tables for these registers?

 

Best regards,

Lo

Hello all,

 

I have a Toshiba Z930, which requires the following Intel LAN driver, The scenario is this, if i download these drivers and install them directly onto the laptop they work fine.  However when i try to deploy Windows 7 Ent using MDT the image gets deployed however the drivers  for the "LAN,card reader, intel management components USB3.0 and wireless" do not install and device manager is displaying exclamations. 

 

Im surprised that the error message says that the connection cannot be made to the deployment share because the following networking device did not have a driver installed

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_00021179&REV_04. 

 

So the connection did connect to the deployment share because it loaded windows 7, and the lite touch was executed i have  monitoring enabled which  show the installation.   I have been searching high and wide for an answer and it appears that I need the WINPE drivers ( driver pack)

 

I have checked the inf files and that have been added to the out of box driver folder on MDT and the Inf files do not have the same hardware ID. 

using ms trace the error reports that no networking adapters found. The network drivers for you device are not present.

 

any help would be appreciated. 

 

Here are the Hardware ID when i manually install the drivers

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

Hi, I have just upgraded to Windows 10 and it is coming up with error, I have read up online and the resolution for this is to update your drivers. Now my driver is Intel 82567v-2, it is saying I have the latest version, however the latest was 2012? I am unsure as to what to do next, as surely the driver needs an update from 2012?

Intel releases the whitepaper on how to network two PCs or two MACs using Thunderbolt.

 

It even states the driver: Thunderbolt Software 2.5 one should be using.

 

I have scoured the internet, even venturing into these historical image websites and found NOTHING.

 

INTEL, where can I find Thunderbolt Software 2.5?

 

Thanx.

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!
