Is Intel coming out with a driver for the 1219-V NIC for Windows Server 2019?

[CZueh]

I have a NUC8i7BEH and a NUC8i3BEK, both with the 1219-V. I looks like there is only the 1219-LM in the drivers list for 2019. Is Intel working on a driver for the V?

Thank you

Hello CZueh, Thank you for posting on the Intel ® communities. I would like to begin by saying that none of the Intel ® NUCs you have mentioned has been validated with Windows* Server 2019, for this we do not have drivers available for that combination of hardware/operating system. You can have more information in the link below: Supported Operating Systems for Intel ® NUC products https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005628/mini-pcs.html You can always use Microsoft's basic drivers and they should allow the system to work properly. When it comes to the generic drivers for that Ethernet controller, we have only up to Windows* Server 2012. We also have this driver pack which could help: Enterprise Client Driver Packs for Intel® NUCs, Intel® Compute Sticks, and Intel® Compute Cards https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000021509/mini-pcs.html I hope this helps.

Thank you David. I do get that. I, too, saw that drivers for 2019 will be coming out in Nov. Bit long to wait, but I did get a "driven" NIC for my old 4thGen i3. For the NUC, just waiting 'til then.

Thanks!

I have a NUC8i7BEH as well and was disappointed to find out that there were no network drivers for Windows server 2019

@DavidV_Intel​ please can you confirm the drivers will be released and if so when so we can plan around this

thank you

FYI from what I have read, the drivers work, it’s just a matter of editing inf files

I would prefer a supported solution though
