Hi,

For a study, I would like to know the differences between two Intel Network driver versions (example: delta changes/fixes/improvements from v18.6 and v21.1)

In the Intel websites, I don't get this information. can you please update from where can I get these information?

Appreciate your help!

Hi,

Thanks for the update. This is ReadME.txt file which comes with all the driver version I believe.

This information is not the one which I am expecting. My expectation is to have the improvements and fixes from the previous release and the current release.

Hi Prabu,

 

 

 

Good day. Can you share also what is the OS and driver version loaded for those 2 NICs?

 

I understand you are looking for 18.6 and 21.1, but 18.6 and 21.1 refers to the software package version, to be more specific, please tell me the exact driver version installed.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi,

The OS version is Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1 x64.

The software package version that I look for is v19.1 and v21.1.

The exact driver version for 19.1 is 12.7.27.0.

Currently I don't have the exact version for 21.1.I will share if I come to know this exact version.
