Hi Jesse,
Many thanks. Will look for the nvmupdate utility and update the firmware.

Hi Zack, everything is okay.
The first message is just a message from the kernel, just letting you know that
you're running an out-of-tree driver and there is no way to fix it, but there
is no harm either.
The second message is from the driver to let you know that the driver expects
that a newer firmware release is available to be installed, and you could run
the nvmupdate utility downloaded from intel.com and update your NICs.

Subject: [E1000-devel] How should I react to these two messages after updating
i40e?
I was suggested to update the i40e driver on a few servers that have the XL710
NIC installed. I picked on today to get familiar with the step. After
installing the RPM, built per the instructions in the i40e source README, then
I did in /boot
- back up the old initramfs
- run dracut to generate a new initramfs
- reboot the server
Then, I did a grep i40e /var/log/message and saw
- Aug 29 14:28:35 sc2u1n3 kernel: [ 10.494594] i40e: module verification
failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
- Aug 29 14:28:35 sc2u1n3 kernel: [ 11.076296] i40e 0000:03:00.1: The
driver for the device detected an older version of the NVM image than expected.
Please update the NVM image.
Are they reflecting anything that should be acted upon? If so, what's the best
way to do for each? I am new to this, and searching the mailing list archive
and Googling around so far haven't helped.
Any hints are appreciated.
Regards,
