Hello,

I've reached the end of my rope trying to figure this out since I'm pretty new to what I'm dealing with. I've been after this for several days and I have no idea how to accomplish this.

I'm used to the old school way of having to create DOS boot disks and whatnot to update firmware, but I haven't done any for years. I came into some "luck" and got a big case of white box Intel branded X710 quad port adapters. What I need is to update the firmware as they are quite old. I have the Intel firmware downloaded and it apparently runs from what is called an "EFI Shell".

I do not have an EFI boot manager in any of my menus (not that I can find anyway) in order to use this utility. Iv'e tried using the utilities where you browse for a file on USB, but it doesn't like this file (nvmupdate64e.efi) for whatever reason and it just kicks me back out every time I select it. It appears that the functions I am trying to use is only for Dell BIOS updates, I'm just not sure.

Can anyone help me with this? I need an explanation of how this works and how to achieve this. Of all the google hits, they all revolve around BIOS updates. I'm really hoping there is a way to do this, I just can't figure it out.
