Intel has made available separate 20.4.1 network adapter drivers for several of Microsoft’s Windows operating systems, which add support for the producer’s new I219-V and I219-LM Ethernet Connections.

Specifically speaking, Intel has provided numerous files, each compatible with one of the Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 OSes (for both 32- and 64-bit variants), as well as with one of the 64-bit architectures of Server 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2 platforms.

However, the producer highlights that creating ANS teams and VLANs under Windows 10 operating systems isn’t currently supported and won’t pass traffic if created. Intel is working on this problem and hopes to fix it in a future release.

When it comes to valid components, the present downloadable files are to be used with certain Intel Ethernet controller and server adapters, as highlighted in the Release Notes of each package. Not all products are supported under every version of the compatible OSes.

In terms of installation, simply ensure your configurations is valid for the executable you are about to download, run it, and follow all instructions for a complete update. Also, perform a system reboot in order to make sure that all changes take effect properly.

Last but not least, Intel has also rolled out the same version of its administrative tools for the network adapters that are compatible with the platforms highlighted above.

That being said, download Intel Network Adapter Driver 20.4.1, select the one targeted at your OS and bit variant, upgrade your network adapter, and constantly check our website to be aware when a newer version is available.
