firmware for HP NC364T NIC

B. Chapman — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:34:51 GMT

I have 2 servers, both with HP NC364t NICs. When examining firmware versions for both, I see one with older firmware:

# ethtool -i eth8
driver: e1000e
version: 1.0.15-NAPI
firmware-version: 5.10-2
bus-info: 0000:0e:00.1

vs:

# ethtool -i eth8
driver: e1000e
version: 1.0.15-NAPI
firmware-version: 5.12-2
bus-info: 0000:0e:00.1

My question: Where can I download Firmware version 5.12-2?

Thanks for any help on this!

Broadly speaking, start at www.hp.com, click on "Support and Drivers," click the radio button for "Download drivers and software (and firmware)," enter the product name (eg NC364T) and go from there.

Thanks for the response, Rick.

I tried that - and was able to drill down to find the most recent DRIVER, but nothing for FIRMWARE.

And after all the searching I've done on the web - I'm still coming up empty (hence my post).

It would be one thing if the Firmware versions were the same on these NICs (in my different servers) - but since they ARE different - then I gotta imagine I can update the lower version'd NIC(s). Just can't find the download!

Anyway - again - thanks for the response, Rick.

Perhaps the Smart Update Firmware DVD then.

Did you ever get a resolution to this issue. I am now seeing the same problem.
