Windows 10 1809 - i219 and i211 NIC teaming not available?

Hello, my Windows 10 was updated to 1809 today. I downloaded the latest Intel Ethernet drivers available (23.5) and am no longer seeing the Teaming option in the network adapter's properties in Device Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers which didn't fix it. Was the teaming option moved, or is it no longer available? I didn't see any mention of that in the release notes, so I'm not sure what is going on. Everything else on my comp is up to date.

To add another data point...

I have a Lenovo T480 with the I219-V Ethernet adapter. I had VLAN and teaming working before with Windows 10 1803. After updating to 1809 today, I lost those options. I even used Lenovo Vantage to make sure all of my firmware and BIOS was up to date. I went and downloaded the PROWinx64.exe 23.5. and updated the drivers since it said it was 1809 compatible. I still do not have access to VLANs and teaming. When I go look for the drivers to install manually...the latest driver I see is the one from 10/4/2018...12.18.8.4...which obviously isn't the one from December.

Hello ZM1,

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities. The Teaming and VLAN features in PROSet for Windows device manager have moved, as Windows 10 1809 and later no longer supports this function. Please use PowerShell to create teams. See the release notes under "Advanced Network Services (ANS), Teaming and VLAN configuration":

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000031823/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products.html?wapkw=23.5+release

The PowerShell commands for Intel PROSet are described in the following link:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023545/network-and-i-o.html

We have found for some users PowerShell works best if 23.2 or 23.4 is installed on the system first, and 23.5 is installed on top of it without uninstalling 23.2 or 23.4. To create a Team in PowerShell use the following:

1. Open Windows Powershell as administrator.

2. Import the PROSet Powershell* module using this command: Import-Module -Name "

C:\Program

Files\Intel\Wired Networking\IntelNetCmdlets\IntelNetCmdlets"

3. Type "Get-IntelNetAdapter" to display the name of your network adapter.

4. Type "New-IntelNetTeam" to initiate the creation of a Team.

5. PowerShell will prompt for more information to configure the Team. It is normal for it to hang 30 seconds to a minute, but let us know if PowerShell hangs longer or provides an error.

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

@DFrie3​  This should also work for you, but the VLANs will unfortunately have to be reconfigured in PowerShell. 12.18.8.4 is still the latest driver for the I219-V. For step 4 use "Add-IntelNetVLAN". "ParentName" should be exactly as the adapter is displayed in "Get-IntelNetAdapter".

 

Best regards,

Daniel, thanks the reply. I ended up going the Powershell route before I saw your reply :/. Glad to see a confirmation though, I had no issue doing it with just 23.5 on top.

 

I did notice in the adapter settings that the Intel Advanced Network Services Protocol is unchecked. When I go to check it and apply the setting, Windows tells me that "Your current selection will also disable the following features: Intel Advanced Network Services Protocol. Are you sure you want to disable these feature(s)?" I'm assuming this is a bug?

Wasn't trying to hijack ZM1's post, but thanks.

 

This did not work. Maybe I did something wrong...here is my step by step below:

 

For my the VLAN aspect only, I opened Powershell as an admin and did steps 1 and 2 no problem. Steps 3 and 4 are below:

  1. Get-IntelNetAdapter
  • Which I then copied "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (4) I219-V" from under the name column.
  1. Add-IntelNetVLAN
  • ParentName[0]:, which I pasted in the name I copied from step 1 above.
    • ParentName[1]:, which I just pressed enter on.
    • VLANID[0]:, which I typed in just the integer "15".
    • VLANID[1]:, which I just pressed enter on.
    • I then got the following error:
      • Failed to add one or more of the specified VLAN IDs.
      • At line 1: char:1
      • Add-IntelNetVLAN
      • +CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation (IANET_PhysicalE... "my hostname"):CimInstance) [Add-IntelNetVLAN], Exception
      • +FullyQualifiedErrorId : Error executing cmdlet.,Intel.Powershell.Network.VLAN.ADdIntelNetVlan

 

If it helps, the Powershell version I'm using is... (do get-host, then $PSVersionTable):

PSVersion 5.1.17763.134

 

While I can understand Powershell, it would be nice if Intel was able to modify the advanced settings back to what it was in 1803 and whatever the user sets in the GUI, just runs the appropriate PS cmds at the appropriate rights level so a normal user can do this without having to understand powershell commands. I guess we could pass out a script that has a GUI and asks for these values and does the commands, but I could never expect a normal user to do all of these steps.

You're trying to form a team, right? You're using the wrong command at step 4. You want to use "New-IntelNetTeam"

Not yet.

 

Just the VLAN right now...kinda piggybacked on your topic since you mentioned VLAN and Teaming and had the same NIC. Figured the answers had to be close and Daniel did provide the separate command for me.

Hi there. Following this and also trying to set it up. Seemed to work fine but powershell has been hanging for me for a solid 5+ minutes after I hit enter on providing the name. Ran it in admin mode. I had to uninstall the softeare and reinstall it as it said one of the adapters was already part of a team which it was not. Ended up finding and removing that in device manager and showing hidden devices. Really not sure how to proceed at this point.

Hello ZM1, Thank you for the reply. I am glad using PowerShell worked for you. Let me check on the ANS protocol issue. I have not seen it before. This is in the newly created virtual adapter? Does the Team adapter function correctly with the ANS protocol unchecked? Best regards, Daniel D Intel Customer Support

I haven’t checked the virtual adapter, but prior to forming the team, both of the physical adapters had it unchecked and gave that message when trying to check it. The team function works fine with ANS “unchecked” though, just odd its showing this behavior.

Install Win10Pro 1809 in haste before uninstalling Intel PROSet feature in 1803 and you will seriously run into some funky issues with the latest Intel PROSet feature, basically you should heed this warning on the Intel https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000031823/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products.html?wapkw=23.5+release

PROset PRE-INSTALL WARNING.PNG it was impossible to get the power shell teaming working so I ended up rolling back to 1803 which luckily only took five minutes, I guess Microsoft made it that easy due to all the issues with October 1809. Anyway like it says on that link page eventually "We plan to add this functionality to the Intel® PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility in a future release." So as I'm not really desperate for any 1809 features I'll wait till then save me two days of scratching my head until I realised the basic mistake I had done😕

Procedure above? My procedure was the following run from PowerShell as an admin:

 

Import-Module -Name "C:\Program Files\Intel\Wired Networking\IntelNetCmdlets\IntelNetCmdlets"

Get-IntelNetAdapter

New-IntelNetTeam

adapter 1 name

adapter 2 name

StaticLinkAggregation

TeamName

 

Then it hangs indefinitely.

Hello @MMacB​ ,

There are no issues with the procedure you used. The hanging issue is present in some systems. Currently the solution would be a fresh install of Windows 10 1809, and we are working on a solution for those who cannot re-install Windows. Please check the following thread for any updates as soon as available:

Hello ZM1, To help us address the ANS protocol check box could you provide if your Windows 10 is Home or Pro, and the language or locale? When you created teams in PowerShell did you use a single command, or multiple prompts, and did you see any errors? Let us know if you have any other questions.
