Hi,
I have a problem with my Intel ethernet adapter and Windows 8.1

As you can read in this Intel KB seems that they don't support anymore all old NICs for advanced features with Intel ProSet (VLAN, LACP etc..): still remains supported only few NICs! It isn't a harwdare problem because all works correctly on Windows 8..

Do you have already faced with this problem?
How could be it solved?

Thanks
 
I don't see the problem really...old old devices have in OS drivers so they can be used, just not with advanced features.
for example, why would you want advanced features on a 100mb NIC? spend a few bucks and get a gb nic that supports the features your looking to use?
 
Yes, I agree with you that is correct to stop advanced features for old old products.
The problem is that I'm not using an old 100mb NIC but one that comes with a Intel I5..

Does it mean that I have to change a laptop with an I5, 8GB RAM and SSD only because they not support a product released two years ago?

PS: The newtork chipset is an Intel 82577 but reading the KB it applies to all laptop\desktop NIC.
The only ones support are all Intel Ethernet Server Adapter (I210-T1, I340-T2, I340-T4, I340-F4, I350-T2, I350-T4, I350-F2, I350-F4) plus some 10GB.
 
i'm kinda not tracking you can set vlan in os or in switch and who cares about the nic
 
At least in Windows you cannot set on OS without driver support..

And if you need tagged van allo endpoint (PC or notebook) had to support them
 
My guess is that VERY few people used those features on desktop NICs. It's just not something that's commonly done.
 
I'm not sure if this will help or not but it might point you in the right direction?

I wont sit here and tell you what should or shouldn't be supported or how you should or shouldn't do something heh but what is it that you're trying to accomplish?

Normally a workstation or desktop isn't aware of their VLAN, it's set on a switch as an access port in that VLAN (Cisco terms).

Are you doing virtualization? Are you trying to be in two VLANs at the same time? What's your need, maybe we can find a workaround.
