e1express error on NC112i

[Durham]

I have done a lot of research into this problem and have not come across anything conclusive. There seems to be quite a mix up of drivers available which is quite confusing; I have experienced this error on two different drivers that are supposed to be for this NIC.

Every 3 or 4 weeks the NIC will do this for hours on end never establishing a stable connection:

The current driver for the NIC that I have installed which I think is the latest is: An Intel driver 'e1q62x64', version: 12.7.27.0.Server software is Windows SBS 2011 Standard on a Proliant ML110 G7.

We have not always had this problem, but it has been going on for the last 6 months at least with the most recent incident happening this morning. Thankfully this time a restart fixed the problem for now, sometimes it takes quite some fiddling around to try and get the link to come up and stablise (Not actually a proper fix solving the issue).

The switch it is connecting to is a TP-Link TL-SF1048 v4.

Some extra errors they may be related but I am not sure:

^^^These NIC Agent events I don't understand, they happen periodically through out the flapping of the NIC port.

(This is hard to read and it would help if you formatted it better.

Insert blank lines and split lines so they look like the original output.
