Driver&Support says Network Adapter drivers 29.1 for Win10 V12.15 is needed, but finds no hardware

[OldDX79SIUser]

Intel Driver&Support says I need Network Adapter drivers 29.1 for Win10 V12.15, once I download and install it, it finds that I have no Intel network hardware, but since my motherboard is Intel DX79SI and the Network Drivers are Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network for Ethernet and wireless, this confuses me. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

According to the Supported Operating Systems for Intel® Ethernet Controllers (LOM) page, Windows 10 driver support for this (long discontinued) adapter is only provided inbox with Windows 10. Installing later Intel driver packages will fail as there is no driver for this adapter present.

Sorry,

P.S. Sadly, iDSA is often out to lunch on discontinued products.

Hi OldDX79SIUser,

Thank you for posting in Intel Community Forum.

Upon checking, Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller for Windows 10 comes in in-box only. Driver and software updates aren't planned for adapters with only in-box support. These adapters can't be updated using automated or manual methods.
