Intel i219-V System interrupts after WOL when Machine is awake

We are running into an issue where I work with all computer models having Intel i219-V network cards.  Basically if a computer is awake and our management system send it a WOL magic packet, it will cause System Interrupts to eat up 10-25% of the CPU indefinitely until the machine is restarted.  I cannot just disable WOL as we need it for management purposes.  

 

Disabling the WOL/magic packet features makes the issue not happen

 

I have ran into this issue while running the following drivers for i219-V network cards:

12.27.10.7

12.17.10.8

12.18.8.9

There were more driver versions as well but I do not have them written down.  Has anyone ran into this issue before or have a fix?

Hello pembertj,


Good day!


Before we further check this issue with our engineers, you mentioned that you tried multiple driver versions and it didn't help with the problem. With this, can you share if you also tried the driver provided by your manufacturer/Dell? 


Please be informed that the software drivers linked from Intel page are generic versions, and can be used for general purposes. However, Original Equipment Manufacturer(OEM) might have altered the features, incorporated customizations, or made other changes to the software or software packaging they provide. To avoid any potential installation incompatibilities on your OEM system, Intel recommends that you check with your OEM and use the software provided via your system manufacturer. 


Looking forward to your reply.


Should there be no response, we will follow up after 3 business days.

I understand about getting the drivers from the OEM.  I tried 3 versions from Dell (older versions) and they all had the same issue.  I tried the Intel ones last as they are a newer build then the ones provided by Dell.  All of them had the same WOL issue.  I reverted the machine back to Dell drivers when I was done.

Hello pembertj, 


Thank you for the patience on this matter.


Please see below information for our findings on this matter.


The issue could also be related to board and Operating System as well. Have you tried contacting Microsoft about this? If yes, what was their suggestion? Kindly ensure that the BIOS and all drivers are updated. Can you also check if you will encounter a similar issue using a 3rd party LAN controller? 


We hope to hear from you soon as this will help in further investigating the problem. 


Should there be no response, I’ll make sure to reach out after 3 business days.

I am in contact with Dell who are looking into the issue.  I have not put a support ticket in with Microsoft but can attempt that next.

 

I did test the issue on a "clean" Windows 10 20H2 install and the issue still happened (with no extra dell drivers or tools installed)

The support ticket was submitted to Dell by another person I work with.  They are on vacation until January 12th so I won't have an update until at least then...

Hello pembertj, 


Good day!


We'd like to check the current status of the support ticket that was submitted to Dell. Feel free to share an update once you heard from them.


I have also escalated this request to our engineers as I mentioned on my previous post. Kindly check the details below for their inputs.

It is very unusual that the embedded LAN and its driver can cause system Interrupts along with WOL feature. Since you mentioned that once WOL was disabled, the issue disappears so it could be an Operating System issue as well.


Kindly try out the latest driver with version 11/05/2020,12.19.1.32 under 25.6 version. Please also be reminded to install the latest chipset driver for your motherboard.

Dell contacted us back and said to try the NIC newest driver released in Dec for this model (12.19.0.18) - the issue still happened on the machine.   I also updated the bios at their request but that did not seem to help either.

 

These last tests have been done on a clean install of Windows 10 20H2 directly from Microsoft support media
