Notes and Known Issues
Unexpected reboot on driver update
If a direct Cache Access (DCA)-capable device has registered with the QuickData driver to perform DCA, the driver will not unload. When the QuickData driver is updated, the operating system will force a reboot.
Bug checks and system instability when passing traffic with misconfigured Jumbo Packets setting
If you are experiencing bug checks or system instability when passing traffic, please check your Jumbo Packet settings. If Jumbo Packets are not configured correctly, a mis-sized packet may be sent to the affected system. This results in the bug checks and system instability.
Uninstall does not uninstall driver
When the drivers are uninstalled on Microsoft Windows Vista* or Windows Server 2008, the operating system immediately re-installs the in-box drivers. This will cause a number to be appended to the device's displayed name.
Hot Plug error message, "The device cannot be stopped because of an unknown error."
When running Windows Server 2008, you may receive an error message when attempting to swap an adapter using Hot Plug. Use the Windows Safely Remove Hardware utility to stop the adapter before removing it from the system.
Windows Server 2008 Driver Installation Crash
Installing the Intel networking drivers after starting the Windows Telnet Server may cause the driver install to crash. You must install the network drivers prior to starting the Telnet Server to resolve the issue.
Driver not available in Windows Server 2008 Preinstall Environment
Intel adapters that do not support Windows Vista also do not support the Windows Server 2008 Preinstall Environment. See Adapter compatibility and feature support for Windows Vista for a list of devices not supported in Windows Vista.
