Hi I switched to Win 8.1 and my Intel 82579V GNC doesn't work properly. I download your latest PROWinx64.exe but the problem still there. After a sleep mode the card won't start unless I forced it manually.
I went through multiples forums and it shows clearly that Windows 8.1 manage Energy Efficient Ethernet connection. So, when my desktop goes in sleep mode, Win 8.1 set the Ethernet connection off. So far, everything’s fine but when I wake up the system the device won’t respond and keep resting in sleep mode. I must open again the devices manager to force it to open. I founded something yesterday that seems to operate properly. In the configuration board, I go to the Power Management Tab and modify the standard setup to delay the sleep mode to one hour. It seems to works…so far!
I’m not an expert but I can manage some average situations. Honestly, I must confessed this one took me some days to find even if I’m not really sure it’s the right thing to do!
Please help.
