If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones. Even though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release on platforms other than the ones specified.

What's New in This Release:

- Support for FreeBSD 12.2. Drivers are no longer tested on FreeBSD 12.1.

Intel 700 Series Changes:

- Linux driver: Express Data Path - On the newest Kernels system hang might be observed after eBPF program has been loaded.
- Linux driver: Driver reload or unbind and bind driver on an Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 may cause link down on first port after reboot.
- Linux driver: rx_errors counter double-counts some packets when traffic doesn't pass Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
- Linux driver: Link may be lost after changing MAC address on Physical Function (PF) using Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X722.
- Windows driver: OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR double-counts some packets when traffic doesn't pass Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
- Windows driver: Under heavy stress on Windows Server 2019, customers might see Event 260: "Failed to move RSS queue from VMQ." in the system event viewer using Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X722. This is due to the driver not moving a particular queue in time for it to move to a new CPU. This is a nonfatal message and traffic is still processed as expected.

About Wireless LAN Drivers:

Windows OSes usually apply a generic driver that allows systems to recognize the wireless component. However, in order to use all available features of this hardware, you must install the appropriate drivers.

Enabling the wireless card allows systems to read chipset information and manufacturer name, as well as connect to a network without using an Ethernet cable.

Updating the driver version can resolve different compatibility issues, fix related errors spotted throughout the product's usage, add support for new operating systems, improve transfer speed, as well as bring various other changes.

As for applying this release, the installation steps should not pose to much of a challenge since each producer intends to make the procedure as easy as possible: just download the package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Bear in mind that we do not recommend you install this release on OSes other than the specified ones even though other platforms might also be suitable. Also, when the update has finished, do perform a restart to ensure that all changes take effect properly.

Therefore, if you wish to apply this package, click the download button, and setup the wireless card on your system. Moreover, if you want to stay “updated one minute ago,” check with our website as often as possible.
