Intel Ethernet 800 Series Fixed Issues:

- General: If single VLAN traffic is active on a PF interface and a CORER or GLOBR reset is triggered manually, PF traffic will resume after the reset whereas VLAN traffic may not resume as expected. For a workaround, issue the ethtool command: "ethtool -K PF_devname rx-vlan-filter off" followed by "ethtool -K PF_devname rx-vlan-filter on" and VLAN traffic will resume.
- Linux Driver: Enabling switchdev on any port may break reporting random MAC address on the Physical Function (PF) on all ports.
- Linux Driver: When changing the RSS queue value in VM while Double VLAN is configured, rx_vlano [rx-vlanoffload] might stop incrementing correctly.
- Windows Driver: Not all OID error is aggregated to OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR.
- Windows Driver: When a SR-IOV enabled Virtual Switch is assigned to 8 VMs and bi-directional traffic is ran continuously, it is possible that SR-IOV degradation might occur.
- Linux RDMA Driver: Loading of Linux RDMA Driver may fail on RHEL8.3.
- Linux RDMA Driver: Enabling vSAN service from GUI doesn't turn on RoCE on RDMA ESXi Driver.
- NVM Update Tool: Incorrect NVM version is displayed after execution of Inventory switch via NVM Update Tool.
- NVM Firmware: When inverted topology is used which is not a common scenario, link is prevented from going up on all ports.
- NVM Firmware: The NVM version was incorrectly detected in iLO management log (IML) after PLDM FW Update
- NVM Manageability: RDE failed to recognize Intel Ethernet Controller CQDA1 Adapter
- NVM Manageability: The error code returned by PassComponentTable caused iLO to block PLDM FW updates
- NVM Manageability: RDE property serial number on the network adapters were in incorrect order
- NVM Manageability: PCIe Serial Number in PCIeDevice is incorrectly represented
- Application Device Queues (ADQ): TC VF filters do not correctly handle ADQ filter queues, causing ADQ SR-IOV application traffic to be directed to hardware queue(s) in the default traffic class (TC0). Workaround: Use ice driver
- version 1.6.4 or later.

Intel Ethernet 700 Series Fixed Issues:

- General: NCSI version advertised during MCTP discovery has been changed.
- General: Some odata.id properties are wrong.
- General: On Dell servers, an iDRAC link down alert on Intel Ethernet Controller X710 devices with 19.5.12 firmware occurs. This issue can been seen on critical servers. As a result, these servers have to respond to every alert, including at night time.
- Linux driver: When two VF interfaces are in balance-tlb bonding mode, the ICMP traffic might be interrupted for a few sequences.
- Intel PROSet: It is not possible to modify a VLAN using IntelNetCmdlets. The Set-IntelNetVLAN command does not display an error.

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.
