  • Check current firmware/driver version
ethtool -i ethX
  • Download the official software package provided for your NIC if update is required
wget https://downloadmirror.intel.com/24769/eng/700series_nvmupdatepackage_v8_40.zip 
  • Unarchive downloaded package and navigate to the extracted directory
unzip 700series_nvmupdatepackage_v8_40.zip
	
cd 700Series/Linux_x64

or

tar -xzvf 700Series_NVMUpdatePackage_v8_40_Linux.tar.gz
	
cd 700Series/Linux_x64
