iANS VLANs seems to break Powershell "NetAdapter" commands, with "The data is invalid".

[bilalu]

I've a I210-T1 following a bit of a saga of finding an adapter for Windows 10 that can do VLANS....

I find that I can't manage any Windows network adapter using PowerShell's NetAdapter commands while there are any VLANs defined with this adapter.

Bit of a blow. Especially when certain changes in Windows (I think there was an update or a network reconfig courtesy of Hyper-V) cause all the VLAN interfaces to drop (and then you can't add them back with the same name because they're still floating around somewhere - full network reset fixes it - painful). Does this problem needs it's own "Ask"?

Mildly redacted example below.

Hello Bilalu,

Thank you for providing the requested information.

While we are checking the logs, kindly share if you have tried performing clean installation of the network driver to check if it would be of help on fixing the issue?

Hi Chriselle,

I uninstalled the proset driver / software, restarted, installed it again, restarted again, and then ran some of the above commands before / after adding the VLANs. The result is identical.

Thanks,

Bilal

Hi Chriselle,

Precisely the same issue. Wow, it's been more than 8 months since it was reported. Any ETA when the next SW release is slated for release?

Is seems like 24.1 is the current / latest version as of 27th June 2019 (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25016/Ethernet-Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10?wapkw=i210-t1).

The one before that was all the way back in Feb 2019, and yet the issue was confirmed by Intel in Dec 2018.

There's a workaround mentioned in the other ticket, but that just seems to be geared towards removing all VLANs, drivers, etc, and just installing it again, back to a zero state where no VLANs are defined, in which case, the commands work anyway.

I'll try the workaround anyway some time and report back...

Hello Bilal,

We appreciate your prompt reply.

We will check with our engineers for the ETA of the next SW release where the fix will be incorporated.

We will be looking forward for your update once you've tried the workaround.

Have a lovely weekend!

Hi Chrisselle,

Thanks for your response.

Looks like Intel pulled the plug on the UI components a bit too early.

Hi Chriselle,

24.3 from the 4th of November 2019 is still broken!

Hello Bilal,

How are today? I hope everything is great!

SW version 24.4 has just been released last December 16, 2019. With this, we would like to check if you have already test this version? If yes, kindly let us know if the latest version fixed the issue.

Hi Chriselle,

Great, thanks!

Ooh .. <hopes up>!

<hopes dashed> I'm having trouble with that driver pack. Something about the signing certificate being revoked.

Perhaps things will be right with 24.5?

Bilal

[Caguicla_Intel]

Hello Bilal,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

SW version 24.4 should include the fix for this issue.

Are there any changes on the device prior to update? Have you tried reinstalling the driver or performing clean driver installation?

Awaiting to hear from you.

Hi Chriselle,

I was working with 24.4.

Here's the driver tab when 24.4 is installed, and it doesn't work due to the signing issue:

And here's the driver tab when I uninstall the Intel software package (and it works, but no iANS, etc):

Hi Chriselle,

Downloaded 24.5 and installed. Same issue. The underlying driver version is the same. "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. The signing certificate for this file has been revoked.".

[bilalu]

Is there any other way to check why this is happening?
