Hardware/Feature Support:

- UEFI UNDI AVF driver 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 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.
