Hi
I need to connect my server having a XL710 CNA QDA2 to another server with a X520-SR2 Network adapter(E10G42BFSR ). I was curious whether I can go with the Intel Ethernet QSFP+ breakout cable (X4DACBL1, X4DACBL3 or X4DACBL5) from Intel for this purpose. If not what other option do I have ?? (40GbE to 10GbE)
SFP+ Modules, SFP Modules, and Cables Compatible with Intel® Ethernet...
Thanks in advance. Please help me out.

My motherboard is Asrock B150A-X1 and it uses this ethernet controller
Just like the title,when i go over to speedtest.net and click begin test,speed will instantly go to 90ish mbps and then the adapter disconnects
Also at random times the adapter just restarts,are there any advanced settings that need to be changed in device manager?
I am using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Hi everyone,
I've been looking for some time now, even studying the driver code, but I have not been able to figure it out yet. I know that there are IEEE1588 capable NICs that Intel offers. But it seems as if most just support timestamping at the MAC level, and then sending a follow-up message with this timestamp, i.e., the two-step process. So the simple question is: are there one-step capable NICs? Especially datacenter NICS (10 or 40GE)?
Thanks
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
Hello,
I'm on window server 2012 R2 and when I try to install the ethernet drivers it says "No Intel(R) adapters present on this computer"
I have Intel DH61SA board.
I can see it inside other devices in device managment.
Can someone help me?
(this is my first post so I hope Im posting in the right forum)
Hi All,
Upgrading my home lab.
looking to see if Intel E1G42ET NIC is compatible with Windows Server 2012R2.
Planning to learn the virtualization portion of theIntel NIC.
Not finding that particular driver in the Intel Driver Page.
Motherboard: Maximus VII Ranger
Bios: 3003
Driver version: 12.12.218.0
PROset version: 20.1.1022
Windows 10 64-bit (currently, problem started in windows 7)
Yesterday, in preparation of upgrading to windows 10, I decided to upgrade to the latest BIOS as well (version 3003). Everything seemed fine, until this morning when I discovered I had no network connection.
After some searching on the internet, I changed the link speed from auto negotiation to 100Mbps Half Duplex. This at least gave me the ability to download the files for windows 10, hoping that a clean install with the latest drivers would fix the issue, I proceeded to upgrade to windows 10.
Sadly I still have the same issue, any setting lower than 100Mbps Half Duplex works, anything over it wont let me me connect to the network (auto negotiation sets it to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex and doesn't work either).
Running a speedtest gives me about 75Mbps, which is half my actual internet speed, so keeping it at this is unacceptable for me.
Attempted fixes:
- Tried several BIOS versions including the latest 3 and a version of around the time of purchase of my motherboard (mid 2014).
- Installed several driver versions including the one listed above (currently installed), the latest driver from the intel website and the one currently in the windows 10 driver section on the asus M7R support page.
- Reset TCP/IP
- Reverted to older firmware on my router (Netgear R7000), currently installed: 1.0.4.28
- Different cable and port on the router.
- Used a laptop to test the wired connection, worked without issues and gave me my full 150Mbps in a speedtest. (stable)
The only change I could think of was the BIOS update, but seeing as none of the other versions seem to fix it, I decided to post here because I have no clue where to look anymore.
I have not had any network issues prior to this.
If I do set the Link Speed to anything higher than 100Mbps Half Duplex and run diagnostics this is the error message:
Connection Status : Failed
This test relies on a response from a
gateway, DNS, DHCP, or WINS server and
no such response was received. Any such
server for this connection may be unavailable
or misconfigured.
This adapter is configured
to obtain an IP address automatically
but no DHCP server is present on the network.
Windows selected an IP address using Alternate
Private IP Addressing.
None of the other diagnostics result in error messages.
Hello, we have a Dell Latitude E7270 that has the Intel L219-LM Ethernet adapter. I am using a WDS server to deploy a Windows 10 Image onto the computer, but it does not get an IP address. I am able to deploy Windows 7 just fine, but not Windows 10. I loaded the Ethernet Driver version 20.7.1 to the boot.wim but when I boot up over PXE boot to deploy the image, it doesn't get an IP address. If you need clarification, more details or questions, please let me know. Thanks
We are running into a similar issue, trying to PXE boot and pick up a image deployment from our SCCM configuration manager.
The BIOS is set to primary PXE. Secure boot disabled.
On boot, the network link light shows connection (orange and amber), then indicates "Initializing and establishing link" then the network turns itself off and then indicates "Error PXE-E61: media test failure, check cable"
Every once in awhile if we restart quickly it might actually connect, but that's not stable enough for our needs.

Hi,
Does the driver support multiple DMA queues? For example, I would like
to spread receive and transmit traffic across multiple threads within a VM or
pin a thread to a DMA Rx/Tx pair.
Thanks,
Michael
Using DPDK 2.3 and ixgbe driver 4.13.15. When there is no traffic on the link and it is flapped, the VFs recover the link state properly. When there is too much traffic though, the link state can't be recovered for VFs. It seems to be caused by the PF driver putting the VF in a not clear to send state. Since the VF is not clear to send, it can't retrieve the link state via the mailbox. It looks like this can be fixed by restoring the clear to send state in the PF after the cleanup on state down:
*** ixgbe_main.c 2016-05-09 11:07:44.365431345 -0400
--- ixgbe_main.c.bak 2016-05-09 11:07:22.309430641 -0400
***************
*** 6128,6140 ****
ixgbe_clean_all_tx_rings(adapter);
ixgbe_clean_all_rx_rings(adapter);
-
- if (adapter->num_vfs) {
-
- /* Mark all the VFs as clear to send again */
- for (i = 0 ; i < adapter->num_vfs; i++)
- adapter->vfinfo[i].clear_to_send = 1;
- }
}
/**
--- 6128,6133 ----
Thoughts? Not sure why it works without above fix when traffic is light. The DPDK does resets here and there for the VF so perhaps timing makes a difference at restoring the clear to send state.
Thanks.
I tried using the 20.7 UEFI Ethernet Driver E7006X3.EFI, but I see that I217 support has been removed. Why?
I need I217-LM support in this driver.
Going back I see the last time it was in the Driver was version 20.0, E6604X3.EFI.
Can I217 support please be added back into future builds?
Thank You
Our setup:
We are getting these errors in the Windows Event Log on each Host:
Hello,
We have servers with 2 XL710 quad cards each.
In first, we got this firmware version:
firmware-version: f4.22 a1.1 n04.26 e8000152d
LLDP was working fine, no problem, trames are correctly received.
But after upgrading to (seems to be the last version):
firmware-version: 4.53 0x80001da6 0.0.0
We don't receive any LLDP frames anymore.
It seems that theses frames are dropped by the X710 cards.
I tried to downgrade to 4.42 firmware but ... same thing
The problem occurs on both vSphere 6.0 and Linux (RHEL 6.6) on the 5 servers that have theses ethernet adapter and their firmware updated
We have other cards from other vendor on theses servers that are plugged on the same network equipments and they receive LLDP frames without problems.
Some debug informations (vsphere side, we upgraded the driver to the last version according the HCL, but the problem is the same with the "base" driver):

vSphere says that "Link Layer Discovery Protocol is not available on this physical network adapter"
LLDPD under Linux don't output any informations on neighbors switchs for the XL710's cards
From switch perspective we are seeing the LLDP frame well transmitted on the port !
But when trying to capture LLDP frames both tcpdump under linux (tcpdump -i eth6 -s 1500 -XX 'ether proto 0x88cc') and pktcap-uw under vSphere (pktcap-uw --uplink vmnic1 --ethtype 0x88cc -c 1) never output any frames.
As part of a problem investigation, I update the "nvm" / firmware on a couple of Intel X710-DA2 10G ethernet cards using the NVM Update package (Download NVM Update Utility for Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter XL710 & X710 Series) . The new firmware did not solve the problem and now I want to go back to the old firmware.
As part of the upgrade sequence, I had the software make a backup copy of the firmware. So I have a copy of the firmware, but I see no way to actually put that firmware back into the board. The NvmUpdateTool does not provide a downgrade / restore old firmware option. The software made directory with the old firmware (4MBytes labeled <macAddr>.bin and some other data - labeled <macAddr>.flb).
Now what?
Thanks,
Rob Westfall
Hi Sir,
Some I210 flash maps have three types offsets, Flash Word Offsets, Global MNG Offset & Offset. What meanings are for them?
For example: SMBus 0 slave address Flash Word Offsets: 0x51, Global MNG Offset: 0x06, Offset: 0x03, Bit[7:1]
what is real flash address? How to check this value by Intel Lanconf View Flash tool?
Please kindly help it. thanks!

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.
Host OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Hypervisor: Xen 4.6.0

Driver version: i40e-1.5.18
NVM version: 5.02
Guest OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
Guest Driver version: 20.7.1
I'm trying to forward the ports of the card to a guest Windows VM. An example of forwarding just one port:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens2f0/device/sriov_numvfs
# /sbin/ip link set ens2f0 vf 0 mac 02:00:00:00:00:00
# xl pci-assignable-add 02:02.0
Added to Xen VM .cfg:
pci = ['0000:02:02.0']
All of that works and the VM starts fine and sees the card. Xen reports that it added it:
