What are latest drivers for Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection ethernet card?
What are the latest drivers for the Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection ethernet card? I ask because the Intel driver update website does NOT recognize or list this card (installed in an Optiplex 755).
Please do NOT tell me to use "Update Driver" or go the Dell web support page. I'd prefer to know 100% what are the latest drivers, by file name, date and version number, as a list.
Thanks!!

Intel now provides their network drivers in packs. Each pack should provide the latest drivers for all hardware (or nearly all). Exact driver versions for specific hardware within the pack will vary.
You didn't list your operating system. However, the latest pack is 14.5 and may be found here for vista32:

and here for XP32:

You may run the file directly. Alternatively, you can use a utility (like 7zip) to extract the drivers folder from the download and then use device manager to manually update the driver.
You asked for an exact driver version without actually doing the update. To determine this, use device manager to locate the file name of the current driver. Extract the drivers folder from the download and locate a file with the same name. View the file's properties to determine the updated version number.
