Re: X540-T2 Issues (iscsi)
Hi Zach,
Sorry that what you are seeing is sending you in circles. Hopefully these steps will help. We are not trying to make it hard. I will be giving the right people feedback on your experience. Feel free to PM me with any additional details you think are pertinent on the "Contact Us" experience.
By the way, the UK phone is 0870 607 2439.
I think the window you want is getting hidden by the pop up.
1. Fill out the form and submit
2. Close the Guide Me pop-up Window.
3. Select the contact option you want.
4. If for example you choose phone, you'll get a list of phone numbers for several countries.I scrolled down to find the UK number.

Re: X540-T2 Issues (iscsi)
HAHAHA!
Ok, right. I see what has happened. The bit I was missing was 'close the guide me pop-up window'
Thinking I was on a reputable site, with a reputable company, with a trusted SSL certificate with a steady SHA fingerprint I made the STUPID and may I say 'N00b' internet faux pas of trusting a gad damned pop-up.
What an idiot. What a stupid website. Together we make a bad mix.
Additionally, a colleague claims to have filled in one of those forms yesterday evening with no response so far.
My apologies.
As I stated above I have filled in the appropriate form asking them to review the issue I have which I detailed rather verbosely. We have a further 4 of these cards so I would like to make use of them somehow, I would especially like to return this HV into full service without another rack visit.
This weekends maintenance window is being utilised upgrading the remaining 18 servers with Nextreme NICs which were tested last 2 nights ago without issue and purchased 6 hours ago having had no satisfaction with Intel. Small fry I know. I would have loved to be able to perform a comparison.
Be nice to get a result either way, can't or can.

Re: X540-T2 Issues (iscsi)
Since I can't reply to your email, you guys are so obfuscated it's annoying.
Thanks Mark, I appreciate the assistance.
Too late to stop me looking like a fool to the client (and I guess to Intel forums) , but hey ho. That’s what happens when I behave gung ho and present untested solutions to a client and test mid-week all bravado – like nobody ever got fired for buying IBM days.
Entirely my fault and I should/do know better. I treated it as just another intel NIC upgrade and what could go wrong. Luckily my counterpart was clever enough to hedge the bet and propose a showdown.
I still have £1000 worth of NICs to try and utilise and I would rather do it with the same client. We are small and out 10GB (copper) roll outs are only just beginning…

Re: ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp no longer works
Just in case anyone comes looking here, the possible solution to the above is to use:
modprobe ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1
As in: you have to spell out allow for both ports in the case of an 82599 NIC for example.
It must seem obvious to most since it's barely mentioned anywhere but hey... modinfo DOES say it's an array 
| parm: | allow_unsupported_sfp:Allow unsupported and untested SFP+ modules on 82599 based adapters, default 0 = Disable (array of int) |

Speed Duplex values are not advertising with the configured values
Hi,
I have a gateway which runs on Windows Embedded Standard 7 which has Intel NIC Card 1000 MT/PRO .
I have connected this gateway and a switch in a network where switch has configured speed/duplex as 1000Mbps/Full.
When I set the Speed/Duplex on my gateway's NIC to Auto-Negotiate or 1000Mbps/Full, it negotiating/advertising the speed and duplex properly.
But when Speed/Duplex sets to 100Mbps/Full on gateway's NIC, in the Switch it shows that my gateway is advertising the Speed/Duplex as 100Mbps/Half Duplex.
I am checking these configured values through the registry entryComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\00NN\*SpeedDuplex. It shows the configured value.
The doubt have here is that i have checked the enum values for this *SpeedDuplex entry, it shows in the following way:
0 - Autonegotiation
1- 10Mbps HalfDuplex
2 - 10Mbps FullDuplex
3 - 100Mbps HalfDuplex
4 - 100Mbps FullDuplex
6 - 1000Mbps
Why don't have here the value 5?
I have checked this registry in other Windows Operating systems, it shows correctly. Only in this Windows Embedded Standard 7 OS it shows this way. Will it create any issue? While performing the Speed/Duplex advertisement/Negotiation will it use these enum values? If so how can I resolve this issue?.
Thanks,

Re: IPv6 multicast flood during sleep from i217-LM
I have the same problem with Intel I217-LM NIC. I am using Win 7 64 bit OS and am looking for the driver update to fix the problem with ICMPv6 multicast listener flooding. All I see is the drivers for Win 8. Can you point me in the right direction please. I initiated the temporary fixes of disabling IPV6 and Wake on LAN...

Re: X540-T2 Issues (iscsi)
IXBGT event ID 56 stating that "Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T2 The network driver has been stopped because the network adapter has been removed."
^^^^^^^^
This happens if the NICs are enabled and not being actively used for iSCSI initiator traffic.
If the NICs are disabled the server seems stable.
ANYBODY AT INTEL THERE?

Gigabit CT drivers for Windows 8.1
I recently updated to Windows 8.1 and the original Windows 8 drivers for my Gigabit CT NIC have been replaced with the default Windows 8.1 drivers which are terrible and have done nothing but annoy me (stuttering audio in streams, high CPU usage in downloading etc). I notice updates for Windows 8 are still regularly provided but there's absolutely nothing for Windows 8.1. Is possible to reinstall the Windows 8 drivers by such methods as making changes to the .inf file of the accompanying driver?
Thanks in advance!

Win8 supportet, aber für Win8.1 keine Treiber für Pro/1000 Dual PT ?
Hallo Leute,
ich verstehe die Treiberpolitik nicht.
In meinem Rechner werkeln zwei Intel Pro/1000 Dual PT PCIe Karte. Treiber für Win 8 wurden zur Verfügung gestellt. Das war auch der Grund, dass ich mich für die Karten entschieden habe.
Beim kleinen Update auf 8.1 wird die Karte plötzlich nicht mehr supportet....
Einen Versionssprung von 7.x auf 8.x oder von 8.x auf 9.x kann ich verstehen, aber innerhalb von Win 8.x ist schon bitter. Die Karten kann ich derzeit nur gegen unterstützte Karten austauschen. Bei einem Markenanbieter und Marktführer wie Intel habe ich das einfach nicht erwartet und bin enttäuscht.
Gibt es eventuell die Möglichkeit einer Petition für die Treiberunterstützung ? Bei meinen HP Micro Servern wurde auch ein Biosupdate für Win8.1 nachgeschoben. Wieso kann das HP und Intel nicht ?
Gruß Michael

Intel I217-LM Power Management
I am imaging using SCCM 2012 R2. It installs the driver correctly but I would like to remove the check from "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". What is the best way to do this? Can I run a command line or a script to change that setting?
I need to change it for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 in case I have to do it differently.
Any help would be much appreciated.

After a while, the system crashed for out-of-memory (kernel panics). It only happened on some servers (low end Intel Xeon) but not on the others. So I got 3 questions for you guys:
- Is this exactly the VF known issue mentioned in the subject?
- If yes, what will trigger it?
- Why the memory was used up when this happened?

Can't add VLAN to NIC, NCS2Prov.exe crashes
Windows 7 64-bit, Intel Gigabit CT with ProSet 19.1. When VLAN is added to this card "Intel ANS Virtual Adapter" is added to system, but then error is displayed "One or more vlan(s) could not be created. Please check the adapters status and try again".

I tried adding vlan with prosetcl but that fails also.
Those "ghost" virtual adapters can not be uninstalled from Network Connections or from Device Manager. Only way to remove them is manually from registry... more info here Network Connectivity — Unable to uninstall Intel� Network Connections, Intel� PROSet, or teams
I removed drivers and reinstalled them, same thing.
I tried the card in another machine, with same ProSet 19.1 and I had no problems creating VLANs.
All drivers should be the latest. I believe that is an access violation exception, but what was going on... verbose logs anywhere ?

WinGate and Intel ethernet devices wonky
I'm not sure if this is a problem with WinGate, my Intel ethernet devices the motherboard or Windows but I'll post it here anyway.
Every now and then (maybe twice a week) all LAN clients lose connectivity and the usual "limited connectivity" exclamation mark is displayed over the network icon in the notification area. The server can still connect to internet, and everything seems peachy with ipconfig.
If I reboot the Wingate server, everything is fine again. The wonky thing is if I try to disable and re-enable the local network adapter, it won't turn grey. If I try again a few times, it does turn grey, but then won't turn on again. If I now try to reboot the Wingate server it will be stuck at "Restarting ..." and I need to hit the reset button.

Can Adapters be Recovered?
My DH87MC board with I217v Gigabit Ethernet Controller used a wire connection until I recently installed a Centrino-N 6205 desktop wireless adapter and started using wireless.
I just downloaded Intel Network Connections 19.1 to update the wired LAN . The update failed to run because "Cannot install drivers. No Intel adapters are present in this computer." I did not knowingly uninstall anything associated with the adapters.
Could the installation of the wireless connection caused this issue? I would appreciate any info on how to recover the adapters. Regards. Peter

Re: Can Adapters be Recovered?
They can be recovered by checking the LAN box in the BIOS!!!
