Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection Drivers Download. In our share libs contains the list of Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection drivers all versions and available for download. To download the proper driver by the version or Device ID.

Why do i see many drivers? Below is a list of drivers that may be suitable for your device.

With the different devices, they can have the same driver, it's because they all use the same chip manufacturer. How to select driver? If you are looking for an update, pickup the latest one. If your driver isn't working, use the driver having the same OEM with the your laptop/desktop brand name.

I have an Asus P8P67 pro mobo with the Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection network adapter built in. It currently is using ver 11 driver.

I found the latest driver (PROWinx64.exe) to update it (I'm having some issues). When I try to update it, I get an error box that says: 'The installed version of Intel Proset is not supported for upgrades. You must uninstall it before installing this version'. When I go to Device Manager to uninstall the Gigabit Network Connection in order to install this update.Windows re-installs it before I can run the update. Thus I can't update the driver. How do I stop Windows 7 from automatically updating this driver so that I will have time enough to manually update it with the downloaded newer driver? I'm Running Windows 7 64bit Any ideas?

Over time, Windows may have installed multiple 'instances' of the Intel network driver. Prostoj payaljnij fen svoimi rukami 1. (There's only one copy of the driver files on disk.

Each driver 'instance' is defined in the registry)) By default, device manager only displays detected devices and its current 'instance'. There may be old instances still defined in the registry that the new driver is detecting so it fails. (The old instance are called 'ghost' or 'phantom' devices) Ghost devices appear in DevMgr with semi-transparent icons) Create a system restore point and see 1) I suggest you only try removing ghost network adapter through device manager not manual registry edits 2) In general, one shouldn't remove ghosts unless they know what they are. Some non-plug and play devices display as Ghosts and are needed. So, all ghosts shouldn't be removed.

Uninstallers are pretty good about cleaning up disk files. It's the registry cleanup that tends to be the problem. Maybe another possibility. Windows loves to hide things.

> As you saw, DevMgr doesn't display ghosts, by default > So too, Programs and Features (and Add/Remove Programs) don't show everything as well! (program entries can be marked to NOT display) Take a look at this thread: Seems to be similar problem as yours and two people (last two posts) used a MS tool to uninstall the Network Adapter. Run the tool and see if the network adapter appears in the list of things to uninstall. Might be the Network Adapter entry is normally hidden. JC713: I downloaded and ran the Fixit. It found 'Intel Network connections' which I do not see in Programs and Features however, I wonder if this is the right one to uninstall. The reason is, fixit says the version is 16.5 but it doesn't have the same name or version as in Device Mgr under Network Adapter.

Says Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection and the driver version is 11.13. Do you think Intel Network connections and Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection are the same? Different version numbers too???

Yea, it can cause confusion but it's common for the driver 'install package' to have a different version number then driver it's installing. If you look at ASUS support site for your model you'll see 16.5 is the version # for the ASUS install package. (While it actually installs Intel driver ver 11.13.51, dated, if I read the install package files right) As for upgrading, I'd advise upgrading to the newer version offered by ASUS. (And note the site asks you to download a utility first) As to the driver on Intel site: > Note that vendors (ASUS) may modify the chip (Intel) provided generic driver to suit specific ASUS functionality. Always better a get drivers from the vendor unless you have a specific problem or need to try the ones from Intel > Plus, I looked at the Release Notes for the Intel driver. Its changes provide support for Intel chips not on your m/b. So nothing to gain.
