Intel Pro 1000 Mt Server Driver: Troubleshooting and Support Tips



The PCNet FAST III is the default because it is supported by nearly all operating systems, as well as by the GNU GRUB boot manager. As an exception, the Intel PRO/1000 family adapters are chosen for some guest operating system types that no longer ship with drivers for the PCNet card, such as Windows Vista.




Intel Pro 1000 Mt Server Driver




The Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop type works with Windows Vista and later versions. The T Server variant of the Intel PRO/1000 card is recognized by Windows XP guests without additional driver installation. The MT Server variant facilitates OVF imports from other platforms.


You are getting the error message because our latest driver pack doesn't support the Intel PRO/1000 MT Server Adapter. This adapter model uses the driver available in MS Windows* 7 (In-box driver). Please refer to website below for more information on adapters with Windows 7 driver support:


Neither virtio nor Intel PRO/1000 drivers for Windows XP support segmentation offloading. Therefore Windows XP guests never reach the same transmission rates as other guest types. Refer to MS Knowledge base article 842264 for additional information.


In a previous life, my Dell PowerEdge SC1425 home server has an on-board Intel PRO 1000/MT Dual Port adapter, which introduced me to the world of adapter teaming. At the time I used the adapters in Adapter Fault Tolerance mode because it was the simplest to configure and gave be redundancy in the event that a cable, server port or a switch port failed.


The PCNet FAST III is the default because it is supported by nearly all operating systems out of the box, as well as the GNU GRUB boot manager. As an exception, the Intel PRO/1000 family adapters are chosen for some guest operating system types that no longer ship with drivers for the PCNet card, such as Windows Vista.


I'm trying to get an intel pro/1000 MT server NIC working in my ubuntu desktop 13.10. With no extra configuration, the system saw the interface correctly as an intel 82545 chip and loaded the e1000 driver for it. But in the dmesg logs there are some errors for not being able to get the hardware MAC, this prevents this interface from working at all. The system's main board is an asus z87, and although this card uses a 64-bit pci-e interface, it's mounted on a 32bit slot (it's a supported configuration as intel says). This works in windows properly, I checked it, so there must be a driver issue, not hardware. Any suggestion on what's the problem and how to solve it?


Let me add, I tried to compile the latest e1000 and e1000e kernel modules built from source, but still have the same problem. (of course the kernel for the Ubuntu 13.10, kernel linux_3.11.0-15, has the the e1000 driver built in, not as a loadable kernel module. Is it going to work at all if I rmmod e1000 and insmod /the/new/compiled/e1000.ko?


After some trying I found a solution. as stated in dmesg, the e1000 driver failed to verify the NIC's NVRAM checksum, so it rejected the hardware MAC and assigned zeros to the MAC. so I just assigned a valid MAC to the interface, this way the interface enabled.the MAC assignment could be done in two ways:


Here is the VMware ESXi HCL for the Intel Pro/1000 GT. It does not include ESXi 4.0, at least out of the box. One can use additional drivers found here to get them to work with ESXi 4.0 if the card is not recognized out of the box (some people do not need this step and it installs with the e1000 driver.) Many people are having issues with the cards dropping and I will say my experience has been hit-or-miss with the cards and a quick Google search finds similar experiences. I tend to be fairly conservative with talking about hardware support so if something is not on the HCL and I have personally not had perfect experiences with it, I tend not to recommend it.


The AlphaServer 1000 and 800 range of machines are intended as departmental servers.They come in quite some variations in packaging and mainboard/cpu. Generally speakingthere are 21064 (EV4) CPU based machines and 21164 (EV5) based ones. The CPU is on adaughter card, and the type of CPU (EV4 or EV5) must match the mainboard in use.


UP1000 SRM can boot off an Adaptec 294x adapter. Under high I/O load conditionsmachine lockups have been observed using the Adaptec 294x. A Symbios 875 based card worksjust fine, using the sym driver. Most likely other cards based on the Symbios chips thatthe sym driver supports will work as well.


In general the SRM console emulates a VGA-compatibility mode on PCI VGA cards. Thisis, however, not guaranteed to work by Compaq/DEC for each and every card type out there.When the SRM thinks the VGA is acceptable FreeBSD will be able to use it. The consoledriver works just like on a FreeBSD/intel machine. Please note that VESA modes are notsupported on Alpha, so that leaves you with 80x25 consoles.
