  - Following a firmware update and reboot/power cycle on the Intel
    Ethernet CQDA2 Adapter, Port 1 is displaying NO-CARRIER and is not
    functional.

    the switch page fails, it tries again from the same state.

  - FW not allow link if module not supported in lenient mode.

  - RDE Device is reporting a RevisionID property of PCIeFunctions schema
    as 0x00, instead 0x02.

  - The RDE device reports its status as Starting (with low power), even
    though it is in standby mode.

Intel Networking Adapter/Device SLES 15 Driver

===============================================================================
Intel Linux device drivers package update
===============================================================================

Version [net-27.6-4]
===============================================================================
Driver     Version
------     -------
ice        1.9.11
i40e       2.20.12
ixgbe      5.16.5
igb        5.11.4
irdma      1.9.30

Bug Fix:
--------
ice:
    - ADQ support for 256 queues pairs
    - ADQ acceleration using independent pollers
    - ADQ auto configuration script
    - ADQ per-tc inline Flow Director
    - Support for Selectable Scheduler Topology
    - Support for tc forward to queue
    - Initial support for S-IOV

    - Due to the previous bugs in PF-to-port mapping in both NVM and UEFI
      Driver, old NVMs are not compatible with the new UEFI driver. As it
      pertains to HII, NVMs can still be updated via FMP.
    - When a VF interface is set as 'up' and assigned to a namespace, and the
      namespace is then deleted, the dmesg log may show the error Failed to set
      LAN Tx queue context, error: ICE_ERR_PARAM followed by error codes from
      the ice and iavf drivers.
    - Repeatedly assigning a VF interface to a network namespace then deleting
      that namespace might result in an unexpected error message and might
      possibly result in a call trace on the host system.
    - When the queue settings of a port are modified using the ethtool -L ethx
      combined XX command, the Interrupt Moderation settings reset to default.
    - When the maximum allowed number of VLAN filters are created on a trusted
      VF, and the VF is then set to untrusted and the VM is rebooted, the iavf
      driver may not load correctly in the VM and may show errors in the VM
      dmesg log.
    - If trusted mode is enabled for a VF while promiscuous mode is disabled
      and multicast promiscuous mode is enabled, unicast packets may be visible
      on the VF and multicast packets may not be visible on the VF.
      Alternatively, if promiscuous mode is enabled and multicast promiscuous
      mode is disabled, then both unicast and multicast packets may not be
      visible on the VF interface.
    - A VF may incorrectly receive additional packets when trusted mode is
      disabled but promiscuous mode is enabled.
    - Receive hashing might not be enabled by default on Virtual Functions when
      using an older iavf driver in combination with a newer PF driver version.
    - Linux sysctl commands, or any automated scripting that alerts or sets
      /proc/sys/ attributes using sysctl, might encounter a system crash that
      includes irdma_net_event in the dmesg stack trace.
      Workaround: With OOT irdma-1.8.X installed on the system, avoid running
      sysctl while drivers are being loaded or unloaded.
    - irdma stops working if the number of ice driver queues are changed
      (ethtool -L) while the irdma driver is loaded. As a workaround, remove
      (if previously loaded) and reload irdma after changing the number of
      queues.

i40e:
    - Add support for ethtool -s  speed 

    - VLAN tagged traffic sent from other VFs attached to NIC can be seen on
      other VFs. This is due to issue with NIC settings and offload settings of
      VFs. As a workaround, disable TX VLAN offload on VFs:
          ethtool -K  tx-vlan-offload off
      This does not affect egress traffic from outside of the NIC

igb:
    - Fix dropped PTP timestamps on i210
