Malicious Driver Event issue with 1.7.11 driver

[KColq]

Hi Vince,

We have experienced PSOD's in ESXI 6.0 using the i40e 1.5.6 driver, and upgraded to the 1.7.11 driver and latest firmware to resolve. This has introduced the Malicious Driver Event issue, causing us downtime this morning and causing us to remove the X710 NICs from our vSwitch and run on 1GbE NICs. Appreciate any advice.

Kind regards,

Kye
