Intel 82566 DM GbE compatible with High Performance Driver?

[Andrew_Scott_SPCi.ca]

Hello,

Let me explain:

I have IM Q35 motherboard that comes with 1x Intel 82566DM 10/100/1000 NIC and 1x Intel 82573L 10/100/1000 NIC.

I need to get those 2 NICs working with the High Performance Driver from NI because of my network settings (I need the firewall enabled).

I managed to get the Intel 82573L to work, but not the 82566DM. Is 82566DM compatible with the High Performance Driver?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

The 82566DM is not compatible - you'd have to use the standard Intel driver.

Howwver, recent versions of IMAQdx include an attribute under the Advanced Ethernet settings called Firewall Traversal that use a new feature in the GigE Vision spec to allow the image traffic to traverse most stateful firewalls properly. Support is needed on the camera too, but most cameras these days support it.

How do you tell wheather a NIC is compatible or not?

Here is its manual - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ethernet-controllers/82566-gbe-network-connections-brief.html

Will this work:

Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45?

I decided to go with Intel EXPI9402PT PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps.

This one is expected to work without any issues.
