It will do as you stated, just run sp59027.exe and it will install the correct drivers. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?lang=en&cc;=us&sp4ts.oid;=5194895&swItem;=MTX_557d49b03b4f4029b04b08d421

I haven't tested it on Windows.I have installed them on Linux.But I would suggest try it, with a live CD from fedora or ubuntu, as those distress already have drivers for this NIC.If the OS (linux) see 4 ports, it is a driver issue, if not... it's a hardware issue.Have a great day.

You should try downloading the software and drivers for win server 2012. you can find it on the intel webpage directly. It should work.

I have windows 8, and it works perfectly, maybe you could update your usb/chipset drivers...

Hey Roger... to answer that question accurately 2 things are needed 1) complete description of your system specs.. specially your operating system 2) someone qualified enough to interpret them. As far as i can confortably say... i git a pretty new Windows 8 laptop.. i only had to plug it.. and that's it... in this day in age no one would make a device that would require you to mess around with the bios.. of course provided your computer.. is not old as dirt.... Roger. This has worked so well so far that i d say. Buy it , try it if it does not work. Return it.

I had no problem using the small disc on my 1 yr old laptop but am having problems with the driver. Waiting on an answer to my question now. Running win 8.1 and the com port is not recognized. Suspect serial to usb driver issue since all usb devices except this badge works.

The one I bought was certainly a genuine Intel card. The card identifies itself to the OS as "Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adaptor". I downloaded the Intel drivers dated 10/14/2011 version 9.15.11.0 from Intel for Windows and it works for Windows 7 and 8 as well as Server 2012. For Linux recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 the card runs fine with the default driver set and does not require specific driver downloads. Frank

The entire motherboard is geared towards working with Windows 8. I am using Windows 7 and I am missing on some features due to this. I would recommend you use Live Update to download all the necessary software from Gigabyte site; it will save you a lot of headaches

Can someone provide the link where I can download the driver for Win 7 / 64 bit the one listed in the Q&A; no longer works. thanks!

Yes, it is compatible with Windows 8, which I run on my laptop. I don't think I needed to install Intel's driver package first, either, but you may need to retrieve that.

This is the Intel site where you can download the driver. You select the OS and click the blue .exe hotlink to the right and it will download. You will need another computer to do this and then move it to your computer via flash/thumb drive or cd. If you need any more assistance, please repost to this forum. http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-006120.htm Posted by CompTIA A+ Net+, Sec+ certified instructor.

When I purchased mine, it was because I was putting together a hackintosh. I would advise trying to find some xp drivers for the unit. See if it exists, otherwise I'd upgrade the operating system.

while I don' t have a clear cut answer, I do have one that works. See if it at least is at least recognized in device manager under Windows' control panel. If it is, you might right click on properties and have windows look for a new driver on the net. You might want.to reformat it under fat32 or NTFS....

I just plugged mine in. If you have Win XP, Win 7 or Win 8, you shouldn't need drivers. Windows OS comes with a Plug & Play software already.

While I was typing this reply, I switched over to the other NIC port. I couldn't tell which one was intel and which one was atheros. They both worked just fine.

Using it successfully with Win 7 home. Win 7 saw it without driver disk use. Don't know re 8.1.

In my experience, the driver for this adapter is flaky. This adapter has a broadcom chip and broadcom does not seem to be addressing issues. It took them a long time to get a non beta driver out for Windows 8.1, which still seems to have issues in my experience. I am currently using a Asus adapter that has a ralink chip and it just works. It is n only though.

I had Win7 Pro x64 installed when I first used this adapter. I plugged it in and setup the driver, no problems. Later upgraded to 8 & 8.1. Check that your USB port isn't an issue? Try another port maybe. I used a 2.0 USB port.

The seller sent me low profile adapters with mine. Might want to contact seller before it ships to make sure they put the adopters with the card. I have mine in a small form factor Dell and works great. Win7
