A new universal driver set is available that supports almost all Intel network cards. Intel has given them version number 8.4 and they are available in two flavors for both Windows 98/Me and 2000/XP: the first contains only the basic drivers, the second also has the PROSet utilities on board. Below you can see what has changed:

The PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server adapter no longer has a separate INF or separate software downloads. It is now included in the standard PRO adapter driver set.

An improved Makedisk utility to create base driver installation diskettes.

The IDAdapt DOS utility now returns the silicon stepping.

The Windows* INF for the 10/100 adapters has been split into two separate INFs; one for Windows certified 10/100 adapters, and one for obsolete 10/100 adapters that can not meet current certification requirements. See article CS-010579 for details.

Adapter teaming is now allowed in Windows* XP. After creating a team, you will need to reboot before the change is complete. This will be fixed in Windows XP SP2. [break]You can download the different driver sets here:[break]
