Intel Network Adapter Driver 16.8.1 for XP

Unfortunately, Intel has removed the present driver from its servers, thus making the download impossible. However, you can still get a newer version of this driver: download Intel Network Adapter Driver 18.3 for XP/Server 2003

This release includes software and drivers for Intel PRO/100, Intel Gigabit, and Intel 10GbE network adapters and integrated network connections.

IMPORTANT

If you installed software version 16.8, you must remove the software before you can install version 16.8.1.
- The version 16.8.1 software has replaced the version 16.8 software package.
- The version 16.8.1 software package contains a bug fix to the Windows driver for the Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection.
- If you previously installed version 16.8, and you do not have an Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection, then there is no reason to update your software.
