Intel Ethernet 810 Series Changes:

- General: Issue was found during 30.4 cycle testing. On Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E810-C-Q2T normal inventory finishes successful, but inventory with -oem d finishes with exit code 3.
- General: Netlink DPLL API is not showing the correct connected pin information w/ ice 2.2.8 on Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E810-XXV-4T.
- Linux: During OS reboot, ice driver kernel panicked in ice_free_q_vector - kernel ring buffer.

Intel Ethernet 820 Series Changes:

- General: LOM details missing (Product Name, Vendor Name, Number of Ports) XR8720t 2x100 LOM.
- General: After installing Intel LOM FW (SWB: H4CT9_X09) on a Perla NT system successfully with slot 2 for - CF disabled, no NVM images found on mas022.

Intel Ethernet 825 Series Changes:

- Integrated Network Card FW is not displayed in FW inventory.
- Dell CEM support enabled in PlatformFeatures for E830 and E825 products and the features should not be present for E830 and E825.
- DCR451 introduced Crashlog support for E825. The user receives incorrect information at the very beginning of Crashlog flow.
- When enabling the functionality of NC-SI 1.2 on E825 we faced with temperature reading issue - command GetAsicTemperature (0x48). Command shall return temperature of external PHY (in our case Marvel) when triggered on channel level.
- NVMUpdate is not indicating the SRev of the NVM when used with -o -optinminsrev options.

Intel Ethernet 830 Series Changes:

- General: During the stress test, ports 1 to 5 consistently achieved throughput of approximately 23 Gbps each. However, activating the 6th and 7th ports resulted in a noticeable drop in performance — with the 6th port reaching only 17 Gbps, and the 7th port dropping further to 14–15 Gbps. This indicates a reduction in overall bandwidth when all ports are simultaneously under heavy load.
- General: irdma 2.0.26 module fails to compile in Ubuntu 24.04.2.
- General: Error messages generated in dmesg when adding E830 interfaces to LAG bond.
- General: Fixed PHY FW issue causing link to flap on other ports when initializing a new port.
- General: NVMUpdate doesn't read MinSREV from fuses if fuse_srev_in_fuses fuse is set for E830 devices
- Linux Driver: It was observed that host frozen, when maximum VF were spawned for PF on the E830 adapters and the GLOBR is issued via ethtool.

Intel Ethernet 700 Series Changes:

- General: Pink screen is observed while executing ENS test case on X722 adapter.
- General: Incorrect FEC status in ENS mode. Get FEC status reports FEC mode and Requested FEC mode status in ENS configuration. "ERROR: Device vmnic6 is not supported!" is observed in Native mode when tried to get FEC status of specified NIC.
- General: "Requested FEC" is not displayed in vmkernel.log for SR. Only FEC value is displayed.
- General: Vmkernel.log displays the information of "Pause Autoneg" as "Autoneg" so it is difficult to identify if the Autoneg information is for the Speed or Flow control.
- General: PSOD is observed during driver unload after configuring the SR-IOV in ENS mode.
- General: Observing PSOD during removal of NSX switch configuration in ENS Interrupt mode. The issue is not consistent.
- General: ESXi 8.0 – DDV::Functional::EILoading failing with the PSOD error in ESXI8.0 driver version – 2.10.0.73.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: Device does not respond to NC-SI command "Get FULL LLDP" (0x33).
- Windows Driver: During Deployment of 24H2 on 15G with a X710 OCP NIC, it was observed that with driver version 1.21.67.0 the nodes will lose connectivity to each other intermittently after reboots. Nodes will be unable to ping each other or establish a TCP connection via WinRM. This fails the deployment as Node 1 will send commands to other cluster nodes via WinRM as part of the deployment process. A similar issue has been
- ESX Driver: Alignment of NetQRSS in ENS Mode for VMware.

Intel Ethernet I211/I210 Series Changes:

- General: Resolved an EEUpdate 5.39.56.8 and later issue programming I210 MAC@'s resulting in the error message " EEPROM Manageability Checksum update failed. Error C86A2029 - Failed to read EEPROM or EEPROM image.”.

Intel Ethernet 610 Series Changes:

- General: On ESXi 7.0.U2 and 8.0 Certification with 10G (ixgben) base driver - 1.19.0.25 on E610 adapter, SRIOV test cases fail due to unable to get ip address for VM's on Dell R750 server.
- General: Warning on Production E610 NIC - Warning This device is a pre-production adapter/LOM. Please be aware there may be issues with your hardware.
- General: TX Hangs can occur after setting vlan VST and passing the traffic.
- Firmware/NVM/NVM Update: In DL320Gen12 installed Vmwrae8.0u3 OS, while checking Firmware version using "esxcli network nic get -n interface" command, observed that Firmware OROM version displayed as 1.3786.0 instead of 1.3815.0.
- VMware Driver: Removed workaround for 2.5G and 5.0G speed autonegotiation.

Intel Ethernet 500 Series Changes:

- Intnet 'list' is still supported for 'Available Namespaces' incase of ixgben. Able to execute the below command and warning log "pf is a NULL pointer!" is observed while executing the command.
- Observed warning while executing commands with ixgben_ens driver loaded.
- Antispoofing - VF can send LFC pause frames and PFC frames.
- TX Hangs can occur after setting vlan VST and passing the traffic.

About Network Adapter Drivers:

When connected, the operating system usually installs a generic driver that helps the computer to recognize the newly attached device.

However, proper software must be applied if you want to make use of all features that the network adapter has available. This task also allows computers to properly recognize all device characteristics such as manufacturer, chipset, technology, and others.

Updating the adapter's drivers and utilities version might improve overall performance and stability, increase transfer speeds, fix different compatibility problems and several network-related errors, as well as bring various other changes.

To install this release, simply get the package, extract it if necessary, run the setup, and follow the instructions displayed on-screen. When done, don't forget to perform a system restart and reconnect the network adapter to make sure that all changes take effect properly.

Without further ado, if you intend to apply this version, click the download button and install the package. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss a single new release.
