I want to change I350 PCIe  link speed to Gen1 from EEPROM but I don't know address, who can help~

I was installing the latest drivers for my motherboard, I211 + I219-V on a fresh W10 x64, the 21.1 package.

I219-V work fine

But the new Drivers for I211 (at least, maybe others too) inside ProSet 21.1 are signed ¿Wrong? by INTELNPG1, and Windows refuse them with the classical Error 52.

ProSet 21.0, in other hands, work fine, the sign are correct. issued not by INTELNPG1, but Intel(R) Intel Network Drivers.

Not a drama, but it would be nice to install a properly signed driver to use it.

More strange, Drivers for I219-V are signed by INTELNPG1 too, and work fine (same cert)

I’ve been quiet for a while as I’ve been off working on different things.  Recently I started digging into the area of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). 

As most of us likely do, when I need to learn new things, the 1st thing I do is go search the Internet for information on the topic.  My search on NFV led me to a growing number of papers on using SR-IOV for NFV.

This made sense to me, given that SR-IOV bypasses the hypervisor and virtual switch and can provide better performance by doing so.  Yet when I read these documents the numbers published for performance all looked great, however many of them were for just one or two VM/VNF – this didn’t seem like a very valid NFV use case.

When I think of NFV I think of several Virtual Network Functions (VNF) VM’s (or perhaps containers) running all on the same platform, with traffic sometimes going from one VNF to another in a service chain. 

Thus began a 6 month experiment in which Brian Johnson and I setup test environments to see how performance scaled when using SR-IOV compared to using Open vSwitch with DPDK enhancements.  We have created a technical paper on our results that we hope can provide guidance when looking at Ethernet solutions for your NFV needs.

I hope you find it of use.  If you do please comment so we know if folks actually read these docs

The paper is available here:  http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technology-briefs/sr-iov-nfv-tech-brief.pdf

Hi!

long story short, I am having abnormal disconnection + slow speed with [Intel I218-V] Ethernet adapter.

and I'm pretty sure there is problem with [Intel I218-V] based on reasons I stated bottom.

I've built my PC last year around this time, and my current build is

OS- Windows 10 64bit

CPU- [intel i7 5820k]

MoBo- [Asus sabertooth X99]

RAM - [32GB Gskill trident 3200]

GPU -[MSI RX480 4GB]

and I use [Netgear powerline] 1200 for my Ethernet connection

Now, here is problem I found out recently.

My MoBo [Asus sabertooth X99] has 2 Ethernet adapter which are [Intel® I218V] and [Realtek® 8111GR]

When I first built this PC, I do not remember how fast the internet speed was, but I believe [Intel® I218V] acted little faster than  [Realtek® 8111GR],

So I only used [Intel® I218V] adapter.

Internet worked fine, but every day, around specific time (4-6 AM EST), I lost connection for about 5 min.

First, I thought it was problem with my ISP, because I heard they reset things sometime, but it happen too often and when I contacted my ISP, they said there seems no abnormal disconnections around my area. and ISP wasn't the problem because of my second concern.

Second, I was expecting that my old router causing the random disconnection, but then, whenever this disconnection happens in my PC, Wi-Fi from my smartphone which was connected to same router worked just fine.

Third, I thought it was problem with Powerline from Netgear. but for this, I have no idea to figure out what and where the problem would be.

could be device failure, or my house resets power once a while, I really don't know.

I mean, it was disconnected only for like 5 min-ish, yet it bothers the hell out of me since it almost happen everyday.

and not only around 4-6 AM, random disconnection happened as well.

It happened yesterday as well around same time (4-6AM).  my WiFi was still working, and I got little sick of it, so I took out my Ethernet cable from [Intel® I218V] and connected to [Realtek® 8111GR].

Internet worked right away which was fine.

but I felt somethings little different, then I noticed things loads quicker than before in internet browser.

I reconnected my Ethernet cable into [Intel® I218V].

internet worked fine, so I ran internet speed test.

result was

Down : 10mbps (highest 20mbps maybe)

Up : under 5mbps

when I first built this PC, I remember that it was way higher (40-50mbps)

because I was happy with improvement from my super old PC which was only getting 20mbps.

I pulled cabled again and connected it into  [Realtek® 8111GR] then ran the speed test

it got 50mbps download and it was stable.

I do not know what happened and what changed things past 1 year.

anyone having similar problem? know any solution to bring [Intel® I218V] back?

I've tried some different thing from my research, mostly simple/easy modifications.

like changing power saving option.

delete/reinstalling latest driver.

and seems like it didn't do anything to it.

My question is can these Ethernet adapters wear-off? or get damaged from power via Ethernet cable?

+in addition, even though down speed from test was 10mbps for [Intel® I218V] and 50mbps for [Realtek® 8111GR].

when I try download actual things via applications or internet browser,(for example, 10-20GB sized games from Steam) both adapter got pretty much similar download speed (6.8MB/s max).

but still, picture, video from youtube, and websites load much much faster with [Realtek® 8111GR].

+in Advance option what kind of setting might help?

here is my current setting

When I install the driver ver 21.1 Download Intel® Network Adapter Driver for Windows® 10  I get a message

"Important Note:  Creating Intel® ANS teams and VLANs on Microsoft Windows® 10 is currently not supported.  As a result, when created, teams and VLANs do not pass traffic.  We expect that ANS will be supported on Microsoft Windows 10 client in a future release"

I dont need teaming etc...but once the driver is installed, I dont see WOL in the ADVANCED option  ???

Where is the WOL feature???

Thanks,

After long shutdown and then power up ( eg. Power up in morning ) 82579v adapter shows Windows driver code 10 - with media disconnected status in ipconfig.

Shutdown and restart does not fix.  Hard power off while machine running, wait 60 seconds and power on usually fix.  Bio reset default also fix.

Problem re-occurs if machine is shutdown and powered off for a few hours.

It is not cabling or router since problem is resolved by one of the above power cycle steps.

Configuration:

  Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V Pro

  Bios: Asus 2104 ( latest )

  OS: Windows 10-x64

  Network Driver: Intel 12.5.31.4  / ProSet 21.1.30.0

Applied NVRam update ( 82579VSKU ) adapter is now 82579V - no longer bounces to LM.

Tried:

  Older BIOS

  Microsoft Windows 10 Driver

Problem appears similar to:

I have a server with ESXi 6.5 installed and  an Intel XL710 Adapter with the 1 meter breakout cable to give me four 10Gb connections. My ESXI server only sees the two 40Gb ports and not the 10Gb connections. How can I fix this? I need to use the 10Gb connections individually. Thanks. 

I got the board with i5 CPU 3550S and Intel 82579LM onboard NIC .Found intermittent failed running internal & external LAN loop-back test by using Intel LAN DOS Utility Celo v1.17.  The test only failed after running for few cycles , Anyone have idea what cause the test failed?

A latest version V1.21 found in Intel download center, any changes in Celo from V1.17 to 1.21?

Thanks.

For my old XP box, installed ref'd adapter & drivers and have since been experiencing connectivity issues.  When it works it is fantastic but periodically drops connection with msg "Network cable is unplugged".   By going to Device Mgr and changing any setting on the adapter, it will re-connect & everything is fine until next time.  The exact model is  Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45 (there wasn't an installation CD).  The BIOS tab is asking to be flashed but I have no idea where that file might be (The Driver Update Utility has problems with XP).  The downloads page on the support site has no link to an installation CD which I believe is called "Ethernet Adapters Connections CD".  The one link I was able to find doesn't indicate support for this adapter.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  TIA

Hello,

Is it possible to have multiple VLAN ID in Intel I210 network card on Windows Server 2016 ?

I installed the Intel drivers but apparently you can only define one VLAN ID?

Pilote version : 12.15.184.0 (04/08/2016)

Thanks for you help

Greetings,

I'm following the directions from document 513655. Running EEUPDATE shows my two i210 controllers (one working, and one blank). Using both EEUPDATE & LANConf to attempt to program the blank flash results in a timeout error that occurs after 5+ minutes of the tool claiming that it is writing to flash.

LANCOnf gives the following: c86a0004 - "Timeout Error" when programming i210 blank flash

I am designing a system that will use the x550.  I want to have the future possibility of IEEE 1588 precision time protocol.  The SDP (software defined pins) of the x550 will be connected to an FPGA for this purpose.  Is it important to have an ultra accurate clock source on the x550 for 1588?  Or does the FPGA require this clock source?

Customer want to confirm which LEDs are for the LINK/ACT and which LEDs are for the SPEED indication on the Fisher Flat?

See picture attached for each LED A, B C, D.

Customer know referring to Fisher Flat EPS on Section 2.4 Port LEDs but they don't know each LED indicator, kindly please help.

Patrick

Following all the events at I211/I217-V Windows 10 LACP teaming fails and networking - USB to Ethernet adapter supporting multiple virtual LANs - Hardware Recommendations Stack Exchange, we now have an Ethernet driver that should properly support the Intel Advanced Networking Suite (iANS) under Windows 10.

Using Windows 10.0.14393 with all updates installed, with an I217-LM adapter and the 22.0.1 driver installed.  Things seem to be very flaky.  My focus here is primarily on being able to work with multiple VLANs, with no trunking at present.

First - when creating new VLANs, ensure that the "Network Connections" window or any similar windows other than the "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection * Properties" dialog are closed.  Not doing so will frequently result in the operation hanging indefinitely.  (I remember the same from when we had the working drivers here in Windows 7 and Windows 8 days.)  Even with the other windows closed, sometimes it is taking almost 5 minutes to create a new VLAN - but it takes even longer to do so with the "Network Connections" window open (if it completes at all).

With this out of the way:  Add a new VLAN10.  Only once one VLAN is created can we then create the "Untagged VLAN" (ID 0).  Reboot.  Everything still works and comes back up as expected.

Add a 2nd tagged VLAN, say VLAN11.  Reboot.  The "Untagged VLAN" fails to pull a DHCP lease.  The virtual adapter shows packets being sent and received.  I ran Wireshark on the Untagged VLAN adapter, saw DHCPDISCOVER packets go out, and other unrelated broadcasts and packets coming back - but no DHCPOFFERs returned.  I.E., it seems to be missing traffic in that state.  Disable the Untagged VLAN adapter, re-enable, and it instantly comes back with a valid lease.  This is constantly repeatable.  Nothing is even connected to the other side of these VLANs yet (the connected switchport isn't even trunked).  Remove the 2nd tagged VLAN leaving only one tagged VLAN and the untagged, and things work much better - but this kind of defeats the purpose.

Here's my ugly hack of a work-around for now:  Add a Windows Scheduled Task to run at System Startup, and to run with highest privileges.  Use a PowerShell similar to the following as the action:

$(  Get-Date  Write-Host "Starting..."  ipconfig.exe /all  Write-Host "Restarting..."  Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet - Untagged" -Confirm:$false  ipconfig.exe /all  Get-Date  Write-Host "Done."
) *>&1 > C:\FixIntelNetwork.log

I was worried about timing, and could add a 30 second delay or such in the startup trigger.  However, the ipconfig outputs show that this wasn't necessary.  In the first ipconfig output, the adapter was present and already had an auto-configured 169.254.x.y IP address.  In the second ipconfig output, a proper DHCP lease was shown.

As I don't have anything on the other VLANs to test with yet, I still need to determine - but may have to reset the other VLAN interfaces at startup as well.

Hi,

I have few clarifications on the Receive side scaling (RSS) setting in a Windows 7 OS. I want to disable the RSS because it gives some performance issues, so executed the command "netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled" and when I checked at the Network adapter properties, I still see the Recieve side scaling is enabled.

1. I would like to understand the difference between setting the RSS disabled using the command and disabling the same using the Network adapter properties. (How it works, which takes priority)

2. Is there any known issues if the RSS is disabled using the command line.

please share any info on this topic.

Appreciate your help!

Prabu

Hi,

For a study, I would like to know the differences between two Intel Network driver versions (example: delta changes/fixes/improvements from v18.6 and v21.1)

In the Intel websites, I don't get this information. can you please update from where can I get these information?

Appreciate your help!
