[MScal1]

Hi All,

Upgrading my home lab.

looking to see if Intel E1G42ET NIC is compatible with Windows Server 2012R2.

Planning to learn the virtualization portion of theIntel NIC.

Not finding that particular driver in the Intel Driver Page.

Hi snapmick,

Thank you for contacting Intel. The Intel® Gigabit ET Dual Port Server Adapter (E1G42ET) has In-box support only, no full support. In box driver means the driver and software are not planned for this adapter model. Please refer to our website for Intel® Ethernet Adapters with driver support for Windows Server 2012 R2*: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005768.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005768.htmlHope this is helpful.Sincerely, Sandy
