M83 and M93p ipv6 storms intel i217-LM NIC

The Intel i217-LM NIC in some new lenovo devices will create massive IPv6 listener discovery spam when the machine sleeps, hibernates, or is turned off. This can be resolved by using the 19.0 or later driver from intel (currently 19.1). The officially supported driver provided by Lenovo is older than 19.0 and causes network storms. Highly recommend that Lenovo bump up their supported version and anyone using this NIC on a production network update their driver from Intel's website.
This problem only seems to occur if there are 2 or more machines with this NIC on the same network that are in a sleep, hibernate, or off state (off but plugged in).
This is also a problem for T440 machines, probably others as well.

It's connected IPV4 but because of the faulty NIC driver it starts broadcasting IPV6 when in sleep/hibernate mode.

Intel i217-LM NIC Causes Broadcast storm and High CPU

Wanted to post this here to help others that may be experiencing issues with broadcasts.
If you have PC's with the Intel i217-LM NIC if you don't have the latest driver from Intel the NIC will cause an IPV6 broadcast storm when the computer goes into sleep/hibernate. You have to have at least two PC's on your network in sleep/hibernate mode. It causes the same affect as a network loop. In my network it would cause the MDF CPU to go to 100% and basically shut the network down.
We have Lenovo M93 desktops that have this NIC and I know that there are other PC's that have his same NIC and experience the same problem.
When the broadcast storm is happening you can issue the command
show interfaces | include is up|line|broadcast on your MDF switch to find which interfaces have high broadcasts. You may have to trace it through your uplinks to your IDF's. You can then shut those interfaces to stop the broadcast storm.
Your long term solution will be to get the latest NIC driver from Intel and update your PC's.

Cannot boot with PXE on new Intel I217-LM nic card

I imaged a new Dell 5540 with nic I-218LM perfectly by inserting the driver.
After that I did the same with the Lenovo T540p with nic I-217LM which is the same driver "E1D6232.inf" and when I boot into PXE (after changing bios to UEFI network to both or legacy) it finds the SCCM/WDS server and finds the advertisement.
It asks me to press F12, I press it but it doesn't react and the following line is: "PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent". So I find this weird, it's like the key F12 doesn't work. Is there a way to see if this key works?
Does anybody know why it's not going furthur? The correct driver seems to be injected into the boot image. I am using the driver from the lenovo website in the Windows OS after Winpe stage.

After much frustration trying to get the drivers to install for a winpe boot image I found that the issue was it couldn't find the files to copy. The inf file does not tell the install where to find the driver files. Instead it was trying to find them
in x:\windows\inf\ not where they are installed in the pe image simple fix was to copy the files into the windows inf folder and now the drivers install correctly.
I found this by hitting shift-F10 and the running notepad and opened the x:\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log file, the source path for the driver points to x:\windows\inf (see below)
\machine.inf_amd64_neutral_9e6bb86c3b39a3e9\machine.inf' ([strings])

Vista network driver (winpe 2) for thinkcentre m73? (intel I217-V)

Is there no Vista network driver for the Thinkcentre M73 (Intel I217-V lan network)? It's for Altiris 6.9 Winpe (2).

As far as i know, there is no Windows Vista Network driver for the Intel I217. I have tried to find the vista driver and even installed a WIN7 driver on Ghost Boot Wizard for WinPE 2.0 and i still cannot connect to any ghostcast sessions.

I am looking at buying a MacBook Air over the Pro mainly for the 12 hour battery. Just wondering if battery is compromised by upgrading to 8mb and upgrading to I7 Intel dual core. I am not very tech savvy so apologies if dumb question

If both computers were configured identically, then they would both lose the same amount of battery life with respect to the same starting configuration - comparing apple to apples. I don't know how much the added RAM, etc. would reduce battery life, but it would be less for both models.
Battery life is a tricky subject because most mfgr.s like to suggest as long a life as possible, but often do so under a set of conditions that are not common to most users. Apple is no different. Their computers do have good battery life, however. But not likely as long as what is in the ads for the typical user.

Success with iDefrag and DiskWarrior on my Intel iMac! (indirectly)

Had some very good success using iDefrag and DiskWarrior on my intel iMac, both of which do not run directly on the intel platform yet. As I had observed a gradual (modest) slow-down over the course of the past month since I got my iMac, I couldn't help but try to figure out a way to defrag and optimize the hard drive since I had over 125GB (including quite a few large media files, and a couple system updates, both of which tend to cause fragmentation). So, after doing two independent backups on separate external HD's, I ran iDefrag on my iBook and defrag/optimized the iMac's hard drive using Target Disk Mode. As expected, the hd was VERY fragmented - and the process took overnight to complete. Being as careful as possible to ensure no problems, I then ran verify disk and repair permissions on the iMac's hard drive, and no problem. Did notice a very meaningful increase in responsiveness and speed on the iMac, even more than I would have expected. Since I historically always ran DiskWarrior after doing this exercise on my PPC mac's, I decided to attempt the same here. Since I (and others on this board) have been unsuccessful in running DW3.03 using the iMac in Target Disk Mode, I decided to update backup drive #1 post-iDefrag, and was then able to mount this drive (backup#1) and run DiskWarrior on it from the iBook. No problems were detected which was great news, but the I had it write the new index/directory files. I then sync'd back to my iMac's hard drive (from backup#1 to iMac HD) and observed that a number of files were updated most likely as a result of the updated directory/index files from running DW (I use FolderSynchronizer to sync). So keeping backup#2 of the pre-iDefrag/DiskWarrior for a while, but so far so good, and a very meaningful improvement in performance. So the experiment seems to be a success.
DISLAIMERS: If anyone does "try this at home" please backup and re-backup before attempting. In addition, please note that Coriolis is in the process of developing an intel build for iDefrag and probably recommended in general to wait for this update.
iMac 20" 2GHz Core Duo 2GB RAM, iBook 12" 1.33GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks for this posting and the good advice. I put in some time chasing the 801.57 gb limit before finding this thread that steers in the direction I see now I must persue, a new enclosure (modern day version rather than 5 year old technology -- yes, the old external drive has the Oxford chipset mentioned repeatedly in other threads) to go with my new drive. Would have been better off $$-wise to have purchased a complete unit, but this is so much more fun on a Monday evening.
Great being here with you all!

Dual networks, express and extreme problem with Intel iMac accessing both

I have two airport networks setup to two different ISP's. One is setup using two Airport Expresses with a printer hung off one. The other is setup with an Airport Extreme with two USB disks.
I have a G4 iBook 14" laptop and a MacPro 17" Intel laptop that see and can bee switched between both networks utilizing Internet Connect. They are running OS X 10.4.11.
The other system is an Intel iMac 20" (late 2006) running OS X 10.5.1. The only wireless network it sees is the Airport Extreme. This is frustrating because I want to be able to switch to the Express network to print and cannot get the iMac to recognize the network. Before upgrading to 10.5.1, I could, on occasion, see the other network, now I can not.
Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to fix it? I believe it is operating in 802.11n, but have no way to verify this.

I miss posted this in windows. I reposted this in the Airport Extreme.

Lockup and messed display with intel 2.7 driver

my 865 G box
xorg 1.5 + intel = crash and i am thrown to the console
xorg 1.6 + intel legacy = working (bad performance)
xorg 1.6 + intel 2.6 = crash and i am thrown to the console
xorg 1.6 + intel 2.7 = no more console but this
i have kde 4 themed mouse arrow that i can move
keyboard does not react (including num lock and alt ctrl whatever)
display stays like that and does not change

with intel 2.7.0 i had the same, i think it's this issue:

Hello, what exactly happens when you try?
Os it a Retail Install Disc, or did it come with a different Mac?
Fo you have enough RAM & Free space?
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

ILife 06 and my software restore intel discs

so, I want to use the software that came with my new intel iMac to erase and restore my old flat panel G4. My question is, do those discs include iLife 06?
mytreeofthorns

To expand upon what Niel wrote, the disks that came with your Intel iMac contain the Intel specific build of OS X. While there are thousands of apps that are univeral - that is, the contain both x86 and PPC code - the OS itself is not universal. There are two builds - one for PPC and one for x86 (Intel) and one will not work on the other.
To answer your question, yes it contains iLife, but that copy if for your Intel iMac and no other machine. Do the right thing and buy a copy of iLife '06 to support your favorite computer company.

I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion. However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine

I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion. However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine than using Snow Leopard?

Which iMac? Which Macbook? Both have had several model
itertations, even within the framework of a Core2Duo processor.
With that said, I have an early 2009 iMac 24", with 2.66 GHz
Core2Duo with 8 gig of RAM, and in my opinion, seems to be running
smoother and faster with Lion.

I cant find the recovery HD after erasing and reformatting my 2009 intel imac

Hi All .
Ive spent hours readng through many discussions on the subject but no avail in my problem.
I have an old intel based 2009 iMac , I erased the hard drive through disk utility so I could restore to factory settings.
Then i couldnt find the hard drive or the recovey HD,
I used the old iMac in target Mode on a newer 2011 27" iMac running 10.8.4 and can see the hard drive, so i verified and repaired disk from there.
Then when i turned on the older imac it asked for firmware password.
no chance i could remember as its been a long time since i used.
found a 15" ,Macbook Pro 10.6.3 installation disk and managed to get it to see it after holding the option key at startup .
I noticed though the Macintosh HD and the recovery HD werent there and just the osx 10.6.3 nstallation disc.
so i choose the disc and it gets me to the stage of installing when it goves the error " Mac os X cant be installed on this computer.
gives me the option to restore from time machine backups but all are incompatible as are from different models.
i can get to disk utility but cant do anything from there.
How can i get the recovery hd to be shown again after startup and option key ????
PLEASE HELP

Hi, Where were you booted from to use Disk Utility? Sounds like it wasn't the Restore partition, & you erased the whole Drive instead of just the OSX partition!???
You'll have to use the App Store, look for prchases, re-download 10.8 & install it in Target mode.
found a 15" ,Macbook Pro 10.6.3 installation disk

Performance comparison---using LABVIEW..between Embedded and general-purpose Intel's single VS multi-core CPU

hi guys;
kindly, can any one tell me : is it possible to use Labview installed on desktop pc to show up statistically the main performance key features between mutlicore systems and single core systems but with (two versions, embedded and general purpose CPU) . in other words: I'm trying to resemble embedded cpu with general purpose CPU so that i can only work on Desktop pc than say that the obtained results are the same for embedded multicore CPU.
to get things more clear:...embedded multicore processors are now hitting the embedded market segments such as (small and portable devices with internet, multimedia and wimax tech. enabled that take advantage of recent multicore tech.).
general-puroses Multicore processors: like desktop and servers based processors,
according to what 've read, Intel is producing same processor model but with different applications : (embedded and general-purposes applications)

Hello,
Please look at this page which shows a new feature in LabVIEW 2009, but particularly interesting is the video which shows the performance benefits on a PC platform of single core VS multicore.
LabVIEW doesn't have any ability to emulate a multi-core embedded processor (unless its an intel x86 processor that labVIEW supports!) so to discover the performance benefits of embedded multicore processors, you would need an external hardware board and devise a test in which labVIEW can measure the timing via an external pin toggled by a program running on the embedded processor that could utilise multiple cores (there may be other ways but this is the way that comes to my mind).
I hope this helps you!

Using Time Machine to backup a iMac G5 and restore to an intel iMac

Is it possible to use Time Machine to backup my iMac G5 and restore my backup to a new intel iMac?
The reason being is that I my mother-in-law's company bought her a new intel Mac and she wants to trade with me since she only uses her Mac for e-mail, photos and accounting software.
I was thinking of making sure her data is preserved by using the migration assistant to transfer her data to my iMac G5 and then using my time machine backup to restore to her intel iMac. I have concerns about this method after reading about the intel/powerpc issues with time machine. I also have concerns that perhaps the version of MacOS 10.5 installed to my iMac G5 will not be optimized for intel.

Well, not entirely. You cannot install or restore a PPC version of OS X to an Intel Mac because the PPC system will not work on an Intel Mac. You can copy your personal files, most preference files, and third-party applications (although it would be preferable to update all PPC-only apps to universal binaries which perform better on Intel machines.
Another possible concern is if your mother's company is transferring the ownership to her or simply purchasing the unit for her to use. In the latter case the computer belongs to the company, not your mother. She cannot then give it to you because it isn't hers. This problem should be resolved beforehand because the company may one day want the computer back.
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
