Intel Network Adapter Driver 16.8.1 for XP Description

Unfortunately, Intel has removed the present driver from its servers, thus making the download impossible. However, you can still get a newer version of this driver: download Intel Network Adapter Driver 18.3 for XP/Server 2003

This release includes software and drivers for Intel PRO/100, Intel Gigabit, and Intel 10GbE network adapters and integrated network connections.

IMPORTANT

If you installed software version 16.8, you must remove the software before you can install version 16.8.1.
- The version 16.8.1 software has replaced the version 16.8 software package.
- The version 16.8.1 software package contains a bug fix to the Windows driver for the Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection.
- If you previously installed version 16.8, and you do not have an Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection, then there is no reason to update your software.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
