Linux drivers for X520-SR2 10G network adapter?
Hi,
I'm trying to find drivers for an Intel 10G network adapter that we want to use with an HP server. The server has Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed (3.8.0 kernel).
I've looked at the instructions on this page: Intel® PRO/100, PRO/1000 & PRO/10isGbE Network Adapter ID & Driver Guide . I get this from the lspci -nn |... command:
0a:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:155d] (rev 01)
0a:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:155d] (rev 01)
The 155d device is nowhere to be found in the table on that page - this is rather bizarre. Our order data says the card is a "INTEL ENET SRV BYPASS ADAPT X520-SR2". I found X520-SR2 and downloaded and installed ixgbe 3.18.7 (using sudo make install), but it doesn't seem to find any adapters. Same for 3.19.1:
$ dmesg | tail

i350 ethernet adapter disconnected during normal work
I'm using two i350 components (as two mini PCIe modules).
Every module has i350 with x1 lane of PCIe and two 10/100/1000 ethernet interfaces.
I'm using only 3 out of 4 ethernet interfaces available and I'm configuring them to 100 FULL duplex (the 4th interfaceis disabled in device manager)
I also use a 82579 on my board as10/100/1000 ethernet configured auto negotiation.
OS= win XP
During normal operation one of the 100Mbps ports disconnect for few second and connect again .
I see Event ID 27 in the event viewer of the operating system.
BIOS is updated.
What is the reason and how can I solve it.
Thank you

How to check Intel PXE OROM version and PXE 2.1 build number?
Hello,
Is there a way I can query the Intel PXE OROM version and/or the PXE 2.1 build number from within Windows 7?
I have installed the Proset utilities but did not see these version number in Device Manager properties of the NIC. I installed Intel Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility but it seems to be unable to detect the version. This particular Latitude E6420 has an Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection in Device Manager in Windows 7 32bit. I noticed the -FLASHENABLE option, but did not want to screw anything up so I have not run that. See output below:
BOOTUTILW32.EXE
Intel(R) Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility
BootUtil version 1.4.83.0

I have also tried using Dell CCTK and LANDesk Inventory but neither seem to have that info either.

IPv6 multicast flood during sleep from i217-LM
There's a discussion on Dell's forums about the i217-LM causing a flood of IPv6 multicast traffic during sleep state. Is Intel aware of this issue? Is it a driver issue which has been addressed?

I217-LM network adapter problem with 100MB full duplex
I recently updated my Microsoft Deployment Toolkit repository with the latest cabs to support new Dell laptop.
After the site is updated, I started having problem with older Dell Desktop and laptop reimaged. The problem was that the network cable show disconnected after powering up the system. The wire disconnected stayed disconnected until we physicaly disconnect the network cable and reconnect it. The 100MB full duplex setting was correct. Updating to the latest version of the driver fix the connection status problem on those older hardwares.
We now have a persistent problem with the latest system having the I217-LM NIC onboard. The disconnected wrire status problem at boot up occured and with the latest driver downloaded from Intel we have a duplex connection problem. All our Dell switches are configured to force the connection to 100MB full duplex. We then force the NIC to 100MB full duplex. When we check the connection status in the Intel advanced tool, it shows 100mb half-duplex.
After having tested all the possibilities, the only way we could achieved a stable connection to 100MB full-duplex is by setting both switch port and NIC to auto-negotiation. This is not an option for us because all the PC are daisy chain with an IP phone configured to work at 100MB full-duplex and with other NIC, auto-negotiation are not working well all the time.
I tried with older driver version of the driver available for download and the connection status at bootup occured with all the version prior 18.7 and with 18.7 version, it is impossible to force the speed to 100MB full-duplex.
Is it possible to have a quick fix for this problem? I am pretty sure it is a compatibility problem with the latest harware NIC, driver and Dell switches.
Thanks for your attention.

Re: I217-LM network adapter problem with 100MB full duplex
We have the same issue on some new HP EliteDesk 800s with the i217-LM card.
100mb full just doesn't work. The switches are hard set to 100mb/Full but the PCs are reporting 100mb/Half when we set to auto negotiate and hard set the PC to 100mb/Full. This causes collisions and we get dropped packets.
A test PC is set to 1GB (switch too) and it works fine.
Our network is 100mb/full and the switches are hard set (and we want it kept that way).
Any ideas? We want to hard set the PCs and the switch to 100mb/FULL like we have done on all 800 PCs in the building!

Re: I217-V No connection with 100 full duplex setting
Was this every fixed properly? We have latest drivers from intel, but can get 100mb/Full working. Our switches are hard set to 100mb/full but the PCs (HP EliteDesk 800s) are reporting 100mb/half and we get collisions. They report half even when we hard set the nic to full

Intel i217-LM Duplex Problem
We have an issue with the networking on the built-in i217-LM Intel NIC on HP EliteDesk 800 PCs
100mb full just doesn't work. Our Allied Telesis switches are hard set to 100mb/Full but the PCs are reporting (in the NIC settings) 100mb/Half when we set the PC to auto negotiate or hard set to 100mb/Full. This causes collisions and we get dropped packets. A test PC is set to 1GB (switch too) and it works fine.
Our network is 100mb/full and the switches are hard set (and we want it kept that way). I've played around with some of the settings and had no luck. If we have the switch and PC hard set to 100mb FULL we get problems.
Any ideas? We want to hard set the PCs and the switch to 100mb/FULL like we have done on all the other PCs in the building!
We've had some success with changing the "Wait for Link" in the advances settings to Off, but then when the PC reboots the network doesn't come back up unless we unplug and re-insert the cable.

Re: I217-LM network adapter problem with 100MB full duplex
Same issue with Dell Optiplex 9020's with with I217-lm card. Auto-negotiate works fine but the network requires 100mb/Full Duplex. When changing to this setting the NIC shows as no cable connected.
Hopefully Intel will hop on this issue quickly.

Problem setting rx ring size using ixgbe on vSphere ESXi 5.1
I have a high throughput UDP application running on vSphere 5.1 and I am dropping packets due to rx_dma_no_resources (ethtool -S vmnic4). I have attempted to change the rx ring buffer size to 4096, but no matter what I do the highest I can seem to get is 456 (according to ethtool -G). Ethtool says the highest supported value is 4096, so does anyone know how I can increase the ring buffer size to that amount? I am using driver 3.1.32.
Thanks!

Re: Problem setting rx ring size using ixgbe on vSphere ESXi 5.1
The version of the driver you have is a bit dated. I would try the latest which available from VMware at:
http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=io&productid=12665&deviceCategory=io&partner=46&releases=171&deviceTypes=6&pFeatures=65&vioSolutions=Standard - IO Devices&page=1&display_interval=10&sortColumn=Partner&sortOrder=Asc - IO Devices&page=1&display_interval=10&sortColumn=Partner&sortOrder=Asc
If this still does not work, I am afraid you will need to open a customer case with VMware, they actually own this driver. If in turn VMware needs Intel's assistance, they will contact us.
Best of luck,
Patrick

Re: I217-LM network adapter problem with 100MB full duplex
We are having this same issue on our network Auto-negotiate seems to work fine only problem is some of our switches are set to 100/full.
This problem started with our latest shipment of Dell 9020's and the I217-LM card.
Intel we need a fix for this!

How to force install Intel Proset 18.8
Hello,
I am looking to force an install of Intel Proset 18.8 where an Intel adapter is not yet present.
We are a system builder and regularly build new server images for different Microsoft server operating systems. Normal procedure is that we build a test server, install drivers, install utilities & programs such as Adobe Reader, Intel Proset etc and then capture that image using Microsoft DISM. We then offline inject drivers to take into account other possible image deployment scenarios such as different RAID drivers etc with the intention being that the image will be as hardware independent and universal as possible. All physical hardware is then detected correctly as soon as the image is deployed to a physical server.
Recently we have started creating master images using Windows Hyper-V rather than a physical server. All images are eventually fully tested with hardware but for the initial server OS install and DISM capture the use of VMs is very convenient. Installation of programs, utilities and drivers is flawless except for one small problem and that is that Intel Proset will not install because it cannot see any Intel Network adapters installed. I have tried installing some dummy Intel parts via the add hardware wizard in device manager but to no avail.
Is there a way to force an install of the software component of Intel Proset (excluding drivers) without an Intel LAN adapter being present?
Regards,
GT

Re: Some VFs are assigned three IRQs and some receive only two
We have recently added Mulit-Queue support to our SR-IOV solution. Multi-Queue (MQ) uses 3 interrupts, non MQ only uses 2; however the code still requests 3. I've asked engineering to look into this and see if we can only reqeust 2 if only going to use 2.
To use MQ, and all 3 interrupts, when you compile both the PF and VF use CFLAGS_EXTRA="-DIXGBE_ENABLE_VF_MQ".
Hope this helps,
Patrick
