- Added support for PLDM PCIe reset avoidance at NVMUpdate.

Intel Ethernet 810 Series Fixed Issues:

- General: Due to the previous bugs in PF-to-port mapping in both NVM and UEFI Driver, old NVMs are not compatible with the new UEFI driver. As it pertains to HII, NVMs can still be updated via FMP.
- General: When a VF interface is set as 'up' and assigned to a namespace, and the namespace is then deleted, the dmesg log may show the error Failed to set LAN Tx queue context, error: ICE_ERR_PARAM followed by error codes from the ice and iavf drivers.
- Linux Driver: Repeatedly assigning a VF interface to a network namespace then deleting that namespace might result in an unexpected error message and might possibly result in a call trace on the host system.
- Linux Driver: When the queue settings of a port are modified using the ethtool -L ethx combined XX command, the Interrupt Moderation settings reset to default.
- Linux Driver: When the maximum allowed number of VLAN filters are created on a trusted VF, and the VF is then set to untrusted and the VM is rebooted, the iavf driver may not load correctly in the VM and may show errors in the VM dmesg log.
- Linux Driver: If trusted mode is enabled for a VF while promiscuous mode is disabled and multicast promiscuous mode is enabled, unicast packets may be visible on the VF and multicast packets may not be visible on the VF. Alternatively, if promiscuous mode is enabled and multicast promiscuous mode is disabled, then both unicast and multicast packets may not be visible on the VF interface.
- Linux Driver: A VF may incorrectly receive additional packets when trusted mode is disabled but promiscuous mode is enabled.
- Linux Driver: Receive hashing might not be enabled by default on Virtual Functions when using an older iavf driver in combination with a newer PF driver version.
- Linux Driver: Linux sysctl commands, or any automated scripting that alerts or sets /proc/sys/ attributes using sysctl, might encounter a system crash that includes irdma_net_event in the dmesg stack trace. Workaround: With OOT irdma-1.8.X installed on the system, avoid running sysctl while drivers are being loaded or unloaded.
- Linux Driver: irdma stops working if the number of ice driver queues are changed (ethtool -L) while the irdma driver is loaded. As a workaround, remove (if previously loaded) and reload irdma after changing the number of queues.
- Firmware: When sending an AQC to start, the LLDP agent does not change the property NetworkAdapter.LldpEnabled to True.
- Firmware: Flow control settings have no effect on traffic, and counters do not increment with flow control set to TX=ON and Rx=OFF. However, flow control works fine with values set to TX=On RX=ON.
- FreeBSD Driver: Due to changes in the reset path, several errors are seen in dmesg when trying to re-establish link after nvmupdate. This does not effect functionality, as nvmupdate requires a reboot to be complete.
- Linux driver: When large 1G aligned buffers are used for memory registration there is a possibility that the data is placed at an incorrect location in the buffer for Intel Ethernet X722 devices resulting in data corruption. The irdma driver incorrectly uses a 1G host page size which is not supported on Intel Ethernet X722 devices. The fix is in the irdma driver 1.9.27 or later to stops advertising 1G host page size for Intel Ethernet X722 devices.
- NVM: If the error message OS layer initialization failed is displayed, please update the Windows QV driver to the version included in this release. Note: If you are using Proset, an update of the QV driver may also require updating the Proset.

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.
