I need to upgrade NIC drives and firmware for my Dell R610.

Not sure how to do it as I tried the latest available driver based off Dell service tag, from this link:

QLogic FastLinQ Network Adapter Device Firmware.

wget..
chmod +x file name
./filename

Code: Select all

[root@vps ~]# ./Network_Firmware_82J79_LN_08.07.26_A00-00.BIN
