Thank you all
I have a DL580 G7 runnning RH 4.8 (we cannot upgrade the OS) , Firmware 4.0.527 running on the HP NC375i Ethernet Quad Port and device driver nx_nic version 4.0.556.
We have had the error
Jul 7 11:04:36 fp2 kernel: nx_nic[eth4]: Device is DOWN. Fail count[8]
Jul 7 11:04:36 fp2 kernel: nx_nic[eth4]: Firmware hang detected. Severity code=0 Peg number=0 Error code=0 Return address=0

so we need to update the firmware on the Quad Port and also the device driver.
For many of the versions available in the "revision history" tab, only some of them are available to me ; the ones available are only the ones where there is the buttom "Download".
For the others versions there is the button "Obtain software" that returns to me the "Not Found" error.
-----
The oldest available firmware for download is the 5.4.6 version.
Can I install it in the RH 4.8 or can I install also the latest available 5.6.10 ?
With the above firmware can I install the latest available device drivers version 4.0.590-2 ?
In other words .... which firmware and device driver version can I install on a system running RH 4.8 ?

Thanks in advance !
