Hello,
I have been using my ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe/GEN3 mobo for some time with Intel's 16.7 drivers. I noticed that 16.8 drivers were released, installed them and problems began:
- upon each reboot NIC is randomly detected either as 82579V (properly) or as 82579LM (not properly)
- if NIC is detected as LM version then on next reboot Intel PXE BIOS appears on the screen during mobo initialization while corresponding option (Intel NIC BIOS) is NOT enabled in UEFI BIOS settings
- sometimes after reboot NIC cannot detect that link is up - I had to replug the Ethernet cable to detect connection
I reverted back to 16.7 drivers and everything is OK again.
Has anybody noticed similar behavior with similar setup ?
Best regards,
Zbyniu
