Hey,
so I have two X540-T2 10GBase-T cards. One is a `Dell K7H46`, the other is a `Supermicro AOC-STG-i2T`.
Was having some stability issues with the Dell card, so I went to update the driver, the inbox driver for `ESXi 6.7 9214924` was `1.4.5`.
I don't remember installing the driver in ESXi for the Supermicro card, but I must have and forgotten, because `esxcli network nic get -n vmnic2` shows `Version: 1.7.1`
Anywho, for both devices, `vmchkdev -l | grep nic` shows:
On both machines, so they're both basically the same card (same vendor ID and device ID, `8086:1528`).
However, on the VMware IO dev guide website searchy thingy, the Dell card recommends downloading version 1.6.5, but I already have 1.7.1 installed for the Supermicro card...?
Does anyone know why the drivers recommended for these cards might be different?
And where did I get this driver I don't remember installing...??! I'm sure I must've but I just can't remember where it's from...
