Intel X550-T1 Adapter Driver 5.11.3 for Linux

Changes:

- Added support for 5.11.2 kernel version
- Fix calculate BW for MTU from 4088 to 9128
- Fix ethtool stats reporting
- Enable MDD when SRIOV is disabled
- Various bug fixes

This is the most current release of the ixgbe driver for Linux, which supports kernel versions 2.6.18 up through 5.11.2. 

It also has been tested on the following distributions:

- RHEL 7.9
- RHEL 8.3
- SLES 12sp5
- SLES 15sp2
- Ubuntu19.04
- Ubuntu 20.04

Note that while we attempt to keep the driver version number (5.11.3) in sync with its counterpart in the Linux kernel that has similar functionality, this is far from authoritative. If you are using a newer kernel.org kernel or distro it is likely that its ixgbe driver is at least as up to date as the out of tree (OOT) driver found here.

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.
