Description
Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Driver (modified to ignore invalid NVM checksums)
This driver is based on the net-igb driver version 5.3.2[1] for ESXi 5.5 published by VMware, but was modified to ignore invalid NVM checksums. Invalid NVM checksums occur with (at least) some I211 and I350 Ethernet adapters and lead to the driver refusing to initialize.
For details see the related blog post[2].
