Just a quick warning for the Dell firmware DUP for Qlogic BCM57xxx series adapters. You know the one that had it's vendor and name and driver changed like 10 times in the last 5 years. Very confusing. * 15.00.14 which is latest FW in the Dell catalog (used by OME and other Dell tools): https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=68CJ1 This FW is HCL'd by VMware. * 15.05.12 is latest FW on the Dell download site: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=t3kh2 This FW is not HCL'd by VMware (yet?). As you might know the QLOGIC/BROADCOM/MARVELL/CAVIUM NICs don't have the Fixes listed on the actual FW download page. Instead the Release Notes are inconveniently hidden in an obscure download that you have to manually search for. Very time consuming. All other FW, BIOS updates etc have the changes and fixes and enhancement listed on the actual download page the way it always has been, the way other vendors do it and the way it's supposed to be done. If Dell can step up here and make the effort to transcribe the fixes from the Release Notes to the actual download page it would be very much appreciated. Also since QLOGIC/BROADCOM/MARVELL/CAVIUM or whoever next is owning the NIC division provides Known Issues, please add this to the Download page as well. Or better yet don't release FW with critical known issues like PSOD to us.
