Dibya Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) @Mark-XP I am planning to write E1000E driver by wrapping FreeBSD Driver around NetadapterCx like this driver https://github.com/coolstar/if_re-win , may be you might be interested in this project of porting NetadapterCx. I actually need someone with i219 Chipset to test as i lack anyboard with specific NIC myself Now i am writing storport for Windows 2000, Edited February 3 by Dibya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-XP Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Hello @Dibya, first please some clarifications: - E1000E is the name of the Linux driver for a class of Intel® Gigabit Network NiCs (like th i219). - NetadapterCx is the ,modern' MS driver-model for Win10 and later (in contrary to older ndis-model). - The approach that you refer to above (https://github.com/coolstar/if_re-win) is an (NDIS-type?) wrapper ,around' the NetadapterCx-driver (in that case for a Realtec NiC) compatible with Win-XP (/2000 /Vista). - Your plan now is to write such a wrapper around NetadapterCx-driver for i219. I presume you're mentioning the (linux) e1000e above because you'll use it as a ,bonanza' of ideas and technics, is that correct? What would be the concept then: direct wrapper (NetadapterCx -> NDIS) or detour FreeBSD (NetadapterCx ->FreeBDS -> NDIS)? I've got only basic C knowledge (and even less in driver-implementations) to support, but within 2 or 3 weeks i'll migrate to the (above mentioned Z170) system with an i219 and will be able to test. And - if that's of any interest or advantage - it will house a Debian partition too. And beside me, i'm quite sure there will be some others here (with an idled i219) eager for testing...

Tripredacus Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 In case anyone has trouble reading through this thread, I can provide this bit of information. Using Dell Optiplex 9020, the LAN HwID is VEN_8086&DEV_153A The driver located in ProEMbSw11.exe in the PRO1000\WinXP Related\PCIe works just using manual update through Device Manager without having to do any file modification. Fortunately, it appears this file is in Archive from when it used to exist on Intel's website: https://web.archive.org/web/20181201110458/http://downloadmirror.intel.com/22928/eng/PROEmbSw11.exe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
