• Make sure you have the correct type of cable between the adapter and the
hub. 100 BASE-TX requires two pairs. Some hubs require a crossover
cable while others require a straight-through cable.
The ACT LED doesn’t light.
• Make sure you’ve loaded the correct network drivers.
• The network may be idle. Try accessing a server.
• The adapter isn’t transmitting or receiving data. Try another adapter.
• Make sure you’re using two-pair cable for TX wiring.
The adapter stopped working without apparent cause.
• Run the diagnostics.
• Try reseating the adapter in its slot, or try a different slot if necessary.
• The network driver files may be corrupt or missing. Remove the drivers and
then reinstall them.
The Wake on LAN feature is not working.
• Make sure the WOL cable is attached and that power is being applied to the
computer.
• Check the BIOS for its WOL setting. Some computers may need to be
configured for WOL.
• Make sure the network cable is fully attached to the adapter.
Link LED does not light when power is connected.
• Make sure the WOL cable is attached and power is applied to the computer.
• Make sure the network cable is attached at both ends.

Priority Packet: An Overview
Priority Packet is a traffic-prioritization utility that enables you to set up filters
to process high priority traffic before normal traffic. Using Priority Packet, you
can set up filters to give priority to critical applications or users.
Priority Packet is available at Intel's networking web site, http://www.intel.com/
network.
Prioritizing Network Traffic
Intel's Priority Packet lets you set up priority filters to send information from
critical nodes or applications with an indicated priority. By prioritizing traffic at
the host or entry point of the network, network devices can base forwarding
decisions on priority information defined in the packet.
Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters—parameters you
assign to be applied to outgoing (transmit) packets. Using the Priority Filter
Wizard, you can set up pre-defined or custom priority filters based on a node
(MAC) address, Ethernet type, or by various properties of the protocol and port.
Priority Packet provides two different methods for prioritizing traffic: IEEE
802.1p tagging and Intel High Priority Queue.
