First, great little board! Congratulations!
Im trying to use Windows 2019 server on the ODYSSEY - X86J4105800, and overall it works well, but no matter what I try, I cannot get any drivers to install for the NIC’s (and a slew of unknown devices).
I tried the Windows 10 Intel NIC drivers in the Wiki, but the setup insists that there are no Intel NICs in the system, so it refuses to install the drivers.
I extracted the NIC driver exe and tried to install manually, and that didnt work either - keeps saying it cant find the hardware.
Are there any other drivers? There are no reason the Windows 10 drivers wouldnt work on 2019, for the most part - 10 drivers work on 2019.
** Update ** - I Managed to get them installed manually by selecting the model from the manual list. Still have a few devices devices with errors, but nothing Ill be using right now… Would be nice to get all of the devices to green though - Any chance for a driver set for Windows Server 2019?
Hi @Robotica72
From my udnerstanding, isn’t it the windows server have the same driver as the windows?
Hi @Robotica72 @ansonhe97 Odyssey NIC card PN is Intel I211, this chip is not supported by Windows Server system. As I know, somebody modify the driver and it is worked.
Overall, yes - there are a few that may be slightly different…
@Bruce.Qin - The Chip works fine in Windows 2019, I used the Windows 10 drivers from the Wiki without any modifications to any files. It was just a matter of needing to manually install them rather than use the executable.
do you have any suggestion of the NIC？Such as another chip?
You can just manually install the driver in device manager and selecting “allow me to select the device” - then just browse to the folder with the drivers. I did extract the archive using Winrar so I had access to the drivers.
@Robotica72 Thanks to share your experiences.
Happy to … I did mange to get all drivers on it running Windows 2019 Server - so Im pretty happy, now if I can just get an M.2 to PCIe adapter working, Ill be really happy
Will be soon…
