- Disabling of port 0 (as long it’s not associated with PF 0).

Hardware/Feature Support:

Fixed Issues Intel Ethernet 810 Series:

- General: Fixed probing VF driver on ARM systems.
- General: Empire Flats (E810CQDA2OCPV3G and L) MultiPort power class limits to 3.5W should only be present in CVL4.4, the fix increasing the limit back to 4.5W was taken in all CVL4.5 and later builds. The module’s power requirements exceed the device’s power supply.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: RAMON specific workaround implemented in DreadnoughtLake scripts in case of caui4 no FEC links, was modified being applied only when outer phy is RAMON (and not Parkvale).
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: The NetworkDeviceFunction.MTUSize property is changed to reflect the current OS defaults before the user configures specific value.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: Fixed a rare timing issue of nc-si oem command: plug-out optics and plug-in again, BMC can NOT get temperature by reason code 0x5089.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: Removed the need for EMPR after temperature fatal threshold is exceeded.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: When link goes down, recovered clock switches to an incorrect frequency, and the external DPLL shifts the system timing.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: FW incorrectly mapped NC-SI channels to Physical ports when responding to the Intel OEM NC-SI command 0x26 (no other command affected).
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: Unsupported SMBus write command caused HW to trigger improperly handled FW behavior, which blocked subsequent SMBus writes other than MCTP.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: If user configured 1G and needs to go back to 10G, not able to do so.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: Fixed PTP Time Error to be under 5 ns when running PTP in Boundary Mode between PF with PKVL PHY and PF w/o PKVL PHY.
- Linux: Celo process may not be ended or killed while exiting application. As the result current console is non responsive. Stability of the system is not endangered and user can start next console session.
- Linux: Fixed adding VF to namespace and setting it to up status producing an error in dmesg, VF now works normally

Fixed Issues Intel Ethernet 700 Series:

- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: PATCH request with request to change FlowControlConfiguration property returns success, but do not really apply changes.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: LLDP receive property preserves the last received data, even when LLDP traffic doesn't contain the TLV item/data.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: NetworkDeviceFunction schema Ethernet. The MACAddress property is not updated to the value in PATCH JSON. This is a regression. The issue is under investigation.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: PATCH request with request to to change FlowControlConfiguration property returns success, but do not really apply changes. The issue is under investigation.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: Fixed an issue where X710DA2 cannot get SFF temperature when another port is empty.
- ESX Driver: Multicast packets sent from VF are not visible on vmkernel interface connected to the first NIC port in ENS mode. The problem results in packet drop only on vmkernel interface (packets are not seen). This does not affect vf-vf traffic, and this is only an issue when sending multicast packets from VM to vmkernel.
- ESX Driver: When SR-IOV is enabled and VMDQ Loopback is disabled packets between VF-PF and VF-VMXNET3 can be dropped by the hardware when non-default RX queue is used for PF or VMXNet3, so VF-PF and VF-VMXNET3 traffic is disallowed for this configuration.

About Ethernet Drivers:

Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component.

However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a proper LAN driver that enables the hardware. This task enables systems to connect to a network, as well as collect all component characteristics such as manufacturer and chipset.

If you intend to update the driver version, know that this process can add support for new OSes, fix different compatibility problems, resolve related errors encountered during the product's lifetime, as well as include various other changes.

When it comes to the actual installation procedure, we should note that most producers try to make it as easy as possible, so following the steps should be a breeze: just get the downloadable package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.

There is a chance that other OSes could also be suitable, but it is not advisable that you install this release on platforms other than the specified ones. Remember to perform a system reboot once done, to allow all changes to take effect properly.

Therefore, if you wish to apply this version, click on the download button and enable your network card. To stay up to speed with the latest updates, check back with our website as often as possible.
