May 3, 2017 09:30 GMT  ·  By

Intel has announced the availability of its new Ethernet Connections CD and network adapter driver, namely version 22.3, which adds Windows support for Ultra Low Power (ULP) mode and ensures network stability and performance.

When it comes to the downloadable archive, this file includes all Ethernet network drivers and software compatible with Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2008, Server 2012, and Server 2016 operating systems, as well as with the currently supported Linux and FreeBSD platforms.

As for the suitable devices, this CD can work with certain Intel 10 Gigabit, Gigabit, Ethernet, PRO/100, PRO/100+, and PRO/1000 adapters, PRO/100 and PRO/1000 network connections, as well as with some Gigabit Ethernet controllers and connections (detailed on the description page).

However, bear in mind that not all adapters, controllers, and connections are supported under every version of the compatible operating systems, as they are not valid for certain OSes.

In addition to that, since the separate packages for each platform aren’t available yet, please take into account that this archive is targeted at users who need all drivers for all operating systems in a single file.

Considering this aspect, if you desire to save it on your computer, it would be a good idea to use a download manager due to the large file size (over 300 MB).

That being said, download Intel Ethernet Connections CD 22.3, apply it on your system, make sure to perform a restart to allow all changes to take effect, and constantly check our website for more news on this fresh version.

Update 5/5: Intel has provided the separate network adapter packages targeted at each version of the compatible operating systems. Make sure to check the link below and download the appropriate driver for your configuration.
