Detailed Description
This utility resolves an issue where during system resume, the Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet PHY Network Connection erroneously reports the device id as an Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet Controller Network Connection, resulting in a Windows* Code 10 error and loss of network connection.
Not all systems with the Intel 82579V Network connection will see this problem. Systems using Microsoft Windows 8* are more susceptible to the issue.
If you experience this error, Intel recommends that you update the non-volatile memory for your network connection by downloading and running the NVM Update Utility.
Three versions of the utility are available to support three different operation systems (Windows 32 bit; Windows 64 bit; DOS).
Steps to run the update tool:
1. Download the utility.
3. Open a command prompt window with administrator privileges.
2. Select the utility in the directory or folder based on the operating system installed.
a. 32-bit Windows use the utility in the Win32 directory.
b. 64-bit Windows use the utility in the Win64e directory.
c. DOS use the utility in the DOS directory.
4. Run the executable file from the common prompt.
