The install script, which is a separate download, is necessary to perform the installation don't just extract the driver package and run make.ġEFI drivers can also be in the EFI System Partition or in the UEFI firmware on the motherboard itself. The driver can be downloaded here, but you'll need to compile and load the driver yourself. It looks like the firmware flash program requires the iQV debug driver ( iqvlinux) to function.

Update: You've indicated on chat that you're getting this error while trying to flash the firmware: Connection to QV driver failed - please reinstall it! If not, you'll need to replace the network adapter. It will be overwritten during the flash process this is normal.Īfter you've flashed the firmware, reboot the system in native UEFI mode and see if it works. The message the utility returns simply indicates what functionality the existing firmware provides. In your case, flash the combo firmware, which provides UEFI and PXE support: bootutil64e -up=combo -all -FILE=BootIMG.FLB Per the release notes, the option ROM includes UEFI drivers, which should fix the error you're getting. Download and extract and follow the instructions to update the firmware.

8086:10D3 is the Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter.Ī search of the downloads available for this card turned up a firmware update that can be installed onto the NIC to update the option ROM so that it supports UEFI. As such, it will not work on a UEFI system that doesn't use the Compatibility Support Module (the legacy BIOS compatibility layer) and needs to be updated.ĭigging deeper, I found that the code provided in the error message, 0x10D38086, is the network card's PCI ID. UEFI typically 1 requires that the card's firmware contain a specially-made driver, but your NIC was made for legacy BIOS systems, so it doesn't contain any such driver. On a network card, this is typically used to implement PXE. The VBIOS on a graphics card, used to initialize the GPU and display at boot time, is an example of such an option ROM. The problem here is that your network adapter's firmware, or option ROM, does not support UEFI.Īn add-on card can have its own executable code for use in the preboot environment.
