Iam so dissappointed i left the stability of qualcomm network driver.

I have been running a KF2 Killing

floor 2 server for years.

Just recently i retired the gigabyte board and went with asus and the intel network drivers i have heard so much about!

Its been 4 mnths of torture trying to sort my high lag spike problem!!

Ping Spikes into the thousands every 5th or so refresh of server in game browser!!!

Yet when i start server on my old giga board the ping is steady!!

I want to break bones !!

How on earth do you release faulty drivers!!!

I finally thought i better atleast try ask and look for solutions in here , god knows ive looked everywhere!!!

NOT HAPPY.. intel LOLOL

i had better add... z370 asus rog strix i gaming crap, latest drivers and all dated drivers all bios now the latest .. attachment shows my 2 servers , ping spikes when running one server also.

Hey!

So I bought two of these NICs and a Dell PowerConnect 2816 to connect two computers with up to a 4Gigabit connection when teamed. The issue is, I can't seem to get the drivers to install properly in windows. ProSet seems to instal for my motherboard built in NIC, which is also INTEL Gigabit-but I dont wan't to team that-I just want a team of the 4 ports on the add in card. According to every single thing I have seen on google, there should be a teaming tab when I click "configure" on one of the Pro 1000PT connections, but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere, and Windows installs the drivers for the device automatically. I have tried installing the latest drivers, but again, it just shows the default Windows drivers installed. Help!

Thanks so much,

Rowan

hello,

I have a HP ZBook 15 laptop, where the "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM" device is used for wired Ethernet. I also have two GO-SW-8G Dlink Gigabit switch (https://eu.dlink.com/se/sv/products/go-sw-8g-8-port-gigabit-dlinkgo-switch ). Below, I will call these SW1 and SW2, for better understanding. Also from the Internet Service Provider, we have 1 Gigabit/sec bandwidth (T-Home Magenta1 pack).

There are two scenarios what I setup and the 1Gbps speed was not able to work (?) in the laptop in one case.

The scenario-1, when the 1G speed was working:

The internet modem is connected with a standard LAN cable to the PORT-1 in of the SW1. The Ethernet interface in my laptop is connected to the PORT-2 in SW1 with a standard LAN cable. In this case the Ethernet interface LinkSpeed was Gigabit. It was possible to see both in the indicator LED of the PORT-2 in SW1 -this was green-, and also in the Windows when checking the LinkSpeed of the Ethernet interface, please refer to this link, Google Photos

So, in Gigabit speed point of view there is no any issue in this scenario.

The scenario-2, when the 1G speed was not working, and the LinkSpeed down set to 100Mbps:

Just similar to scenario-1, the internet modem is connected with a standard LAN cable to the PORT-1 in of the SW1. Now SW2 comes to the path, thus PORT-2 in SW1 is connected to PORT-1 in SW2 with a standard LAN cable. The Ethernet interface in my laptop is connected to the PORT-2 in SW2 with a standard LAN cable. In this scenario, the indicator LEDs on the Dlink switches are green, meaning 1G speed in all used ports, except the PORT-2 in SW2 which goes to the laptop. The indicator LED was orange of this port, also checking the LinkSpeed in the Windows side, that shows 100Mbps speed, please refer to this link, Google Photos

I have tried set manually the LinkSpeed in the Windows for the Ethernet interface to 1G, but in this case the interface was "disconnected", so the wired Ethernet was gone in the list of  connections in Windows and the laptop has started to use my WIFI NW.

When I changed back the interface LinkSpeed to "Auto", that come back to 100Mbps, and the "internet connection" returned to use the wired connection.

I did other test by using another Gigabit device, what was a Gigabit router from Dlink, and when I was connect one of the LAN interface of the router to the PORT-2 (or 3, or so) in SW2, the indicator LED was green, meaning the speed was 1Gbps.

Last week, I was issued a support ticket to Dlink, but finally they have not seen any issue with my setup in their pint of view, and also got the info from them, the scenario-2 was working very well with 1G in their LAB.

Thus now, I think the problem is not with the Dlink switches, but with the Windows and/or I217-LM device, and I would like to get some instructions, hints, ect from you, about doing some kind of troubleshooting to identify the root of the issue I have.

This morning I just refreshed the driver of the I217-LM to "Intel ® Network Connections Version:"22.9.6.0"", but I got the same result, so the expected 1Gbps LinkSpeed is not seen when both Dlink switches are in the path.

For more detail info about the drivers on my laptop, please refer to the attached text file.

Please try help me.

Thanks for your help,

Hello, I've been having trouble with this NIC not booting off of PXE.  I've already set the 10Gbe interface as a booting interface in the BIOS.  During PXE, I get the error message: PXE structure was not found in the UNDI driver code segment.  When it first didn't work, I used nvmupdate64e to update the NIC firmware.  nvmupdate now tells me my firmware is up to date (at version 6.01).  However, I still get the same exact error message at PXE boot.  I have also tried enabling PXE flash firmware for the interfaces.  But I still get the same error after all these driver installs and configuration enables.

I have intel 82579LM network card in my DELL M6700. Windows version 1709 16299.309. Intel PROSet Version: 23.1.100.0. Intel Driver: 12.15.31.4. When I creating VLAN the error occured:

"One or more VLANs could not be created. Please check the adapter status and try again."

Can anybody help me. Thanks.

I had a pair of I210 NICs (a dual-NIC motherboard) teamed via Static Link Aggregation and all was working fine until today when Windows 10 x64 decided to apply the April 2018 cumulative update. The page providing the respective drivers with ANS support (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25016/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10?product=64399) states that the latest version is 23.1 (dated 2018-02-21). Even with this latest driver, however, I can re-create the team, but it cannot be enabled. The only way to keep things in a sort of working state is to disable one of the NICs as well as the virtual team interface and keep only the other NIC active (i.e., not an ideal scenario).

Is there any chance that a new version of the driver will be available soon?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

My desktop motherboard uses an Intel l211 network adapter and on Windows Pro 1803 (with the latest 23.2 driver, but also with 23.1) I've noticed that TCP Checksum Offload cannot be enabled at all via Device Manager -> Advanced Adapter Settings or Windows PowerShell.

On Advanced Adapter Settings, the options seem to be set to Disabled by default, but once I set them to something else and apply the settings, the window is closed, connection is lost for a few seconds, and once I open the Settings page once again, the options are back to Disabled.

Then, I tried using Enable-NetAdapterChecksumOffload on Windows Powershell, but when I try reading the new values with Get-NetAdapterChecksumOffload, I see everything set to Disabled.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi there, how are you?

We're trying to get the max possible performance (throughput) out of our servers. Here are some context followed by the main changes we did and then a lot of questions in regard of Intel 82599 and linux parameters, please let us know if we miss any part or ask if you need any further clarification. (like buffer/queue sizes, ring buffer, qdisc or rcv/send buffer)

Context:

• Goal: to get the max throughput through packet locality (latency isn't to bother under 0.5s)
• Load: mostly video (streaming) chunks, ranging from 170KB to 2.3MB
• App (user land): nginx (multi process pined by each core)
• OS (kernel): RHEL 7.4 (3.10)
• NIC (driver): Intel(R) 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01) (ixgbe - 5.3.7)
• Bonding: Bonding Mode: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (it's a single card with two inputs 10Gbps each giving us 20Gbps)
• HW: CPU=Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630L 0 @ 2.00GHz, Hyper Thread=off, CPU's socket=2, CPU's core: 12, 64GB RAM
• NUMA layout:

available: 2 nodes (0-1)

node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5

node 0 size: 32605 MB

node 0 free: 30680 MB

node 1 cpus: 6 7 8 9 10 11

node 1 size: 32767 MB

node 1 free: 30952 MB

node distances:

node   0   1

  0:  10  20

  1:  20  10

What we did:

• Install the latest driver (ixgbe - 5.3.7)
• Run set_irq_affinity -x local ethX with `x` option (enabling RSS and XPS)  and for local NUMA
• Enabled Flow director: ntuple-filters on
• Set affinity for our user land application (nginx's worker_cpu_affinity auto)
• XPS seems to be enabled (cat /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-0/xps_cpus)
• RSS seems to be working (cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth)
• RFS seems to be disabled (cat /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries; shows 0)
• RPS seems to be disabled (cat /sys/class/net/eth3/queues/rx-10/rps_cpus ; show 00000,00000 for all queues)

Questions:

1. Do we need to enable RPS for the (HW acc) RSS to work? (when we check /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus it does has 00000000,00000000 for all the queues)
2. Do we need to enable RFS for the Flow Director to work? (cat /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries; shows 0)
3. Do we need to add any rule for Flow Director to work? (on TCP4 case, since we can't see any explicit rule we supposed it uses the perfect hash (src and dst ip and port))
4. How can we be sure that RSS and flow director are working properly?
5. Why can't we use the most modern QDisc for this multiple queue driver/NIC? (like fq or fq_codel we tried to set up with sysctl net.core.default_qdisc, is it because of multiple queues?)
6. Does a single NIC  only connects directly to a single NUMA node? (when we run set_irq_affinity -x local ethX it set all the queues to the first NUMA node)
7. If 6) is true then what's better for throughput: to pin the NIC to a single NUMA node or to spread the multiple queues into all the nodes?
8. Still if 6) is true then if we buy a second NIC card are we able to make it connected to the second NUMA node?
9. We tried to set coalescence for the TX ring buffer (ethtool -C eth3 tx-usecs 84) it just ignored our value, isn't possible to set coalescence for TX ring buffer?
10. Should we enable HT but use as few queues as real cpus/cores?

If you read until here, thank you very much

I was looking through the i40evf source code, and it seems like the maximum number of queues supported is 4. Is there a reasoning for this? Is there a way to use more, such as 16?

I've seen patches proposing removing a few variables (MAX_QUEUES, which sets the max to 16, but doesn't actually serve a purpose since the RX queues limit is set to 4).

I've searched but cannot see Server 2016 drivers for this model NIC. (Note they so show drivers under Server 2016 for I218-LM, but these don't work. I tried and they were not recognised by the drivers install program.)

This NIC is on an Intel NUC model.

Does anyone know if they exist somewhere, or other alternatives?

Geoff.

My Environment:

Server: Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX2530 M4

Ethernet Adapters: Intel Ethernet Connection X722 LOM (Two SFP+ ports)

Ethernet Adapters Firmware: 3.51

--

ESXi: 6.5 U2

i40en driver version: 1.5.8

--

Both ethernet ports are connected to Juniper EX4550 Virtual Chassis (Junos version 12.3R9.4).

Switch ports are in trunk mode with native vlan.

--

After server boot up ESXi show only one X722 port which is online and port pass traffic. When I assign vlan tag to this interface (also changing ip addresses) then port is online but no traffic.

By default dcbx protocol is enabled on all switch ports:

set protocols dcbx interface all

I disabled dcbx protocol on ports where ESXi server is connected:

set protocols dcbx interface xe-0/0/15.0 disable

set protocols dcbx interface xe-1/0/15.0 disable

After server reboot ESXi show two X722 ports which are online and vlan tag assignment is working.

Is this the i40en driver problem?

Hi.

So my problems is that with latest version of windows VLANS dont activate they stay disabled state, reinstalling drivers does nothing and they are newest version from intels website.

Hi there,

we are experiencing problems with the X710 series R630 Intel NIC built-in within our Dell server (running ESXi version 6.5.0 / build number 7388607).

As for the i40en driver version:

   Driver Info:

         Bus Info: 0000:01:00:0

         Driver: i40en

         Firmware Version: 6.00 0x800034ef 18.3.6

         Version: 1.4.3

Just yesterday we had another outage with a lot of upset customer calls, so this issue is rather urgent. I have seen the blog entry for a i40en driver update for 6.7 installations, but that doesn't help our specific case.

Can you at least give us an ETA for the driver update for 6.5 installations? As mentioned above, it's pretty urgent as we can not have any more outages like yesterday. Please advise.

Thank you in advance!

Best

Tommy

Hi guys,

I can't get the created vlan(s) enabled. Their states keep showing "disabled" and the "modify" button is grey.

In the "network connections" page, the physical NIC icon is blue, but the virtual NIC(s) is grey.

Anybody has an idea what's going on here ?

Here are some related data:

* The notebook is Dell Latitude / Windows 8.1 pro up to date / 64-bit.

* No VM installed, virtualization is by default enabled at the bios, though.

* Adapter teaming is OFF by default.

* The wired NIC type is Intel i218-LM / ProSet version 23.2 the latest release.

* The ethernet properties have the default values. "Advance Network Services Protocol" will be checked automatically once I create a vlan.

Here are some taken actions:

1- tested out the trunk (tagged) port of the switch by using a macbook and a usb2eth adapter.

2- tried to create 1 vlan only and restart the notebook.

3- tried to create 2 vlans and restart the notebook.

4- tried to assign the virtual NIC ip addresses manually and dynamically.

5- tried to disable it and re-enable it manually from the "network connections" page.

6- tried to turn off the wifi and start all over again.

7- tried to completely remove the proset software and the drivers, restart the notebook, and re-install the 23.2 package.

Thank you in advance !

hi.

can i use PCI EXPRESS INTEL QUAD LAN CARD 10/100/1000 Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter I350T4-V2 on windows 10 computer to accelerate the network comunication to the router?

hi intel corp  I will give you some ideas to help

why you don't make a new gaming modem you can see that netgear and other corps that make gaming modem but the gaming modem they make are not strong for real gaming always there problems always

I think is time intel that you can compete in gaming modem the true is that gaming modem technology is very weak for real time gaming networking for online multiplayer game that use heavy traffic network use

is time that you make something very power for gaming cable modem for that support all providers

here ideas of the gaming cable modems

make the modem support real speed for download and upload 10,000mb download and 10,000 upload

make something that can use a super fast memory of 1gb  ram or more

make a extreme super fast  cpu dedidcate it 6 or 8 core for the gaming modem  2.0ghz or higther

dedicate it 10 gigabit ports that support 10,000mbs

64 extreme  download  channels and 64  extreme upload channels

support all dosics up to 3.1 in download and upload too

make to select any channels download and upload to first star or change it

extreme next gen  wapa 3 wirless security and extreme speed

extreme turner modulation 10,000ghz that remove static,noise,and clean the signal ,and voltage protection

new futuristic desing for gamers

dedicate it motherboard and hardware for gaming

full firmware gaming software

internal speed test software too

…………………………………………..

next gen turbo custom firewall  so you can play with the firewall and be secure or disable and don't slowdown the network performance and speed

firewall ids ips  (https encription or highter security level )

next gen anti exploit tech

anti scrips attack protections

login modem https or highter to prevent hackers by pass the modem login

next gen ddos and dos attacks protections

turbo pakage deep inpection so the network don't slowdown

port scan protection

anti ramsomeware protection

web anti exploit protection

next gen network monitor to see all program and device and ect running  and see the speed of any device using and ect

make real time detections for applications and ect

make to enable or disable any device  or only the device you what to allow in lan network and wirless to be secure in both sides

make to detect ip conflict and fix it automatic

make next gen nat that have nat aceleration this will improve the network performance and security and that don't have conflict with other modems so you can open it and don't have problem in games

improve next gen comunication

improve next gen vpn  make turbo vpn and solid security

improve mac security to prevent hackers clone your mac address  and ip from your modem and devices

make a modem test this test is to detect if any part of the modem is not working or is damage by voltage or any part

make support for ip4 and ip6 in all the areas

make a new technology that the modem can scan multiple ip  and process the ip super fast this can reduce ping time when you will enter a website and gaming

make a new tech for network boost acceleration

improve 500% network stavility in all areas

prevent hakers enter remotely to the modem only the provider with a secure login

make the next gen firmware so you can update the modem with a secure firmware update  that don't infect with malware /and don't forget to always make update for the modem and improve ect

next gen turbo qos

make to change the modem ip login  incase you don't whant to be for example 192.168.0.1 you can change it to 192.200.01 this is example so you can change it to ect you whant

make to disable or enable any uknow ip or any ip

you can add a antivirus if you whant

add full 4k and 8k support for real speed

ect  this is your opportunity intel to start selling for the first time in history real solid gaming cable modems that support all providers

this will allow gamers have better connection and better stavility and security...…….. most gaming modem right now sucks

I am just helping think this is a good idea

add more features and ect

10-4 out

Hi, can anyone please advise if there is anything more I can do to fix lost ethernet after sleep mode?  I have updated the ethernet NIC driver to the latest 23.2 but the problem is still happening.  However I am not sure it has installed correctly as the driver properties show 12.15.31.4 (dated 25/07/2016) ??  Surely the driver should say 23.2?  The file PROWinx64.exe seems to have executed correctly without problems.   This problem started after the latest Windows update (April 2018).

When I come out of sleep, the adapter shows as Intel 82579LM, until I scan for hardware changes and it recognises it as 82579V.  This was the same problem as with the old driver, so the PROWin file hasn't changed anything.  Can someone please advise if the driver should say 23.2 in the network card properties?  Many thanks.

Hello,

I have MSI x299 sli plus with I211 and I219-V

and since 2 to 3 weeks of connection problems to know more reception or upload for about 0.1ms.

This happens on both network cards randomly 1h like 10 minutes I tried also to go on a 4G connection and ADSL same symptoms.

The update of the drivers in 23.2 does not change anything and a complete reinstallation of windows 10 pro no change.

it's very annoying in online games if you have solutions ..
