Where can I get drivers?

Your computer manufacturer might have customized drivers and software to enable features, alter features, or provide improved operation on your computer.

Contact the manufacturer for the latest updates and technical support information. If you can no longer get driver support from your computer manufacturer, you can check this page for what OSs are supported with our generic Intel drivers: Supported Operating Systems for Intel® Ethernet Controllers (LOM).

Where can I get technical support?

Computer vendors provide technical support. See Intel® Desktop Board and Intel® Server Board support information.

We develop network components used in motherboards and network adapters sold by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) such as Dell, HP, Gateway, or IBM. The OEM supports connections built into the motherboard or network adapters sold by an OEM.
