Intel NIC Family Version 22.5.0 Firmware for Intel E810 Adapters and Intel E823 LOM

Fixes
=====
- Intel Ethernet 800 Series based adapters are subject to the content of Intel Technical
Advisory TA_00835. Please review INTEL_TA_00835 for more detail. {257917}
- Resolved an issue that for Intel E810-based adapters the "Not Available" status
was displayed in iDRAC GUI for the Switch Connection ID and Switch Port Connection ID fields. {259269}
- Resolved an issue that resetting the Intel(R) Ethernet 100G 2P E810-CQDA2T adapters to default setting
does not set to default port speeds. {241590}
- Resolved an issue where iDRAC connectivity via the shared port of the Intel 25G 4P E810-XXV-st,
25G 4P E810-XXV-stg, 100G 2P E810-C-st and 100G 2P E810-C-stg adapters can be lost after a cold reboot.
Ensure the dedicated iDRAC port is in the "Failover Network" to avoid network disruption. {269531}
- Resolved an issue where Intel(R) Ethernet 100G 2P E810-C-stg Adapter and
Intel(R) Ethernet 100G 2P E810-C-st Adapter could become undetected while the system is booting. {270324}
- Resolved an issue with Intel(R) Ethernet 25G 4P E810-XXV-stg Adapter and Intel(R) Ethernet 25G 4P E810-XXV-st Adapter,
where PTP timeouts could occur and cause unintentional device behavior. {271202}


Enhancements
============
- Added additional 10G Base-T module support (DPN PKR0R) for Intel(R) Ethernet Connection 25G 4P E823-C-st LOM. {262190}
- Added ePPS support for Intel(R) Ethernet 25G 4P E810-XXV-stg Adapter, Intel(R) Ethernet 25G 4P E810-XXV-st Adapter,
Intel(R) Ethernet 100G 2P E810-C-stg Adapter, and Intel(R) Ethernet 100G 2P E810-C-st Adapter. {268497}
- FW mechanism improvements made to properly detect low-to-high and high-to-low power state transition on
Intel(R) Ethernet Connection 25G 4P E823-C LOM {270874}.


Known Issues
============
- When performing a firmware update using the return to factory defaults
option, if there are added TLVs that are needed for firmware functionality,
firmware might go into recovery mode. To work around this issue, perform an
update using the no preservation option and then override the needed PFA
settings with information from factory settings.
- When using the dual rate 10G/25G SR optics module (DN# M14MK), linking at 10G may not be
possible if auto negotiation is enabled. To workaround this issue, disable Auto Negotiation
on the switch interface. On the adapter side:
- To obtain 10Gps link on pre-OS environment, set Media Detection to Disabled in Main
Configuration Page and in NIC Configuration, uncheck the box labeled 25G and make sure
the box for 10G is checked, this will force the link speed to 10Gps.
- To obtain 10Gps link on OS, you will need to manually set the speed to 10Gps. For example,
use "ethtool -s INTERFACE advertise 0x80000000000" on Linux.
- Switching the port from one to another in the setting "NIC Selection" in "NIC Settings" in
iDRAC GUI does not work for the Intel 25G 4P E810-XXV-st, 25G 4P E810-XXV-stg,
100G 2P E810-C-st, and 100G 2P E810-C-stg adapters if the system is in S5 power state. {257723}
- On Intel(R) E810 adapters, please ensure that the global SR-IOV setting in the BIOS matches
the NIC SR-IOV setting (in both enabled and disabled cases). Failing to do so may result in unintended behavior. {265175}
- When the system is powered off, iDRAC accessibility may be lost if the primary shared LOM port of Intel(R) Ethernet 25G 4P E810-XXV-stg
or Intel(R) Ethernet 25G 4P E810-XXV-st Adapter is disconnected even if the secondary port of the same adapter is connected. {274668}
- In the Dell platforms of XR4000 series, the iDRAC connection may be lost during power transitions if using the Intel E823 LOM ports for iDRAC connectivity.
The workaround is enable the "Wake On LAN" setting of the LOM in System Setup page. {271009}
