OEM Intel E810-XXVDA4 compatibility with Proliant DL380 Gen 9

We recently bought a pre-owned HP Proliant DL380 Gen 9 and a HP OEM Intel E810-XXVDA4 card.

We got the driver loaded:

$ ethtool -i ens5f0
	driver: ice 
	version: 5.15.0-101-generic
	firmware-version: 4.00 0x800118ae 21.5.9
	expansion-rom-version:
	bus-info: 0000:84:00.0
	supports-statistics: yes
	supports-test: yes
	supports-eeprom-access: yes
	supports-register-dump: yes
	supports-priv-flags: yes

But we cannot figure out to how to upgrade the E810 firmware.

* Intel's nvmupdate tool doesn't work (See link)

* The HP drivers (see link) won't load apparently because the DL380 Gen9 is using iLO4

So now I am wondering if the card is even compatibile with the DL380 Gen9?

clsoe but no cigar: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00116864en_us&page=GUID-CDFECCAD-1DB5-4435-A1C5-C24A60054BEE.html

The link above mentions the Intel E810-XXVDA2 card being compatible with various HPE ProLiant servers, but the specific combination of the HP Proliant DL380 Gen 9 and the Intel E810-XXVDA4 card is not mentioned.
