My motherboard of choice was the ASRock Z87 Extreme6 which includes dual Gig NICs. One being the Intel I218V and the other a Realtek RTL8111GR. When I first booted FreeNAS off a USB drive the Intel NIC was nowhere to be found in ifconfig -a, however my Realtek interface had no problems functioning correctly. Intel may make changes to manufacturing life cycle, specifications, and product descriptions at any time, without notice. The information herein is provided 'as-is' and Intel does not make any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding accuracy of the information, nor on the product features, availability, functionality,. So I managed to modify the Intel Network Drivers and installed it on Server 2012 R2 but every time I want to change any adapter settings the Window just crashes and the new settings are never saved.

Intel® I218v Driver
- Home » Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (3) I218-V Use the links on this page to download the latest version of Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (3) I218-V drivers. All drivers available for download have been scanned by antivirus program.
- After installing Windows Server 2012 on my homebrew server, the onboard Intel 82579V Gigabit NIC on the Asus P9X79 motherboard was not working. On the Asus site I found Windows 8 Intel drivers for the motherboard.
- Intel (R) Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V, 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'; Windows 10 April/May Update So after the update yesterday, when I restarted my computer this morning, the my ethernet adapter had apparently stopped working.
Hello, i have a bit of a problem with my ethernet driver. The problem is that if i disable the intel ethernet from bios...i can install mavericks, boot mavericks just fine and everything works normal but when i enable the intel port suddenly my boot stops at:
AppleIntelE1000e.kext: changing MTU from 0 to 1500
And just hangs there...when i press restart from the button...it shuts down after 5 seconds so very weird.
Any ideea?
Mobo is Asus H97M-plus.

OS X driver for Intel onboard LAN
A few days before Christmas I started my latest project, a new driver for recent Intel onboard LAN controllers. My intention was not to replace hnak's AppleIntelE1000e.kext completely but to deliver best performance and stability on recent hardware. That's why I dropped support for a number of older NICs. Currently the driver supports:
- 5 Series
- 82578LM
- 82578LC
- 82578DM
- 82578DC
- 6 and 7 Series
- 82579LM
- 82579V
- 8 and 9 Series
- I217LM
- I217V
- I218LM
- I218V
- I218LM2
- I218V2
- I218LM3
- 100 Series
- I219V
- I219LM
- I219V2
- I219LM2
- I219LM3
Key Features of the Driver
- Support for multisegment packets relieving the network stack of unnecessary copy operations when assembling packets for transmission.
- No-copy receive and transmit. Only small packets are copied on reception because creating a copy is more efficient than allocating a new buffer.
- TCP, UDP and IPv4 checksum offload (receive and transmit).
- Support for TCP/IPv6 and UDP/IPv6 checksum offload.
- Makes use of the chip's TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) feature with IPv4 and IPv6 in order to reduce CPU load while sending large amounts of data.
- Fully optimized for Yosemite and Mavericks (64bit architecture) but should work with Mountain Lion and Lion too, provided you build from source with the 10.8 or 10.7 SDK.
- Support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
- VLAN support is implemented but untested as I have no need for it.
- The driver is published under GPLv2.
