What is New in This Release
-Support for the Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-T
-Support for the Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-T4
-Support for the Intel(R) PROSet command line utilities has been removed, and the feature is no longer installed. This functionality has been replaced by the Intel Netcmdlets for Microsoft Windows PowerShell.
-Support for the Ctrl-Settings menu has been removed. Bootutil settings related to Ctrl+S menu (SETUPENABLE/STE,SETUPDISABLE/STD,MESSAGEENABLE/MSE,MESSAGEDISABLE/MSD, SETWAITTIME/SWT) are no longer supported.
-The prefix for Intel(R) PROSet for Windows Device Manager ANS teams has changed from TEAM:to TEAM:. Please update your scripts accordingly.
-Teams and VLANs are not supported on Microsoft Windows 10

Configuring SR-IOV for improved network security

In a virtualized environment, on Intel(R) Server Adapters that support SR-IOV, the virtual function (VF) may be subject to malicious behavior. Software-
generated frames are not expected and can throttle traffic between the host and the virtual switch, reducing performance. To resolve this issue, configure
all SR-IOV enabled ports for VLAN tagging. This configuration allows unexpected, and potentially malicious, frames to be dropped.

Teams and VLANs are not supported on Microsoft Windows 10

Intel(R) Advanced Network Services (Intel(R) ANS) Teams and VLANs are not supported on Microsoft Windows 10. Any Teams or VLANs created with Release 20.1, 20.2 or 20.3 on a Windows 10 system will be corrupted and cannot be upgraded to version 20.4. The version 20.4 installer will remove existing Teams and VLANs. Team members that are not Intel devices will not be renamed back to their original names. This is cosmetic only and does not change their functionality. Reinstall their drivers to get the original names back.

Operating System Support

The most recent software and drivers for unsupported operating systems can be found on the Intel Customer Support website at http://www.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/home.htm. Some older Intel(R) Ethernet Adapters do not have full software support for the most recent versions of Microsoft Windows. Many older Intel Ethernet Adapters have base drivers supplied by Microsoft Windows. Lists of supported devices per OS are available at: http://www.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/nicoscomp.htm. Intel 10GbE Ethernet Adapters do not support Microsoft Windows 32-bit operating systems. They support 32-bit versions of Linux and FreeBSD

About Network/Bluetooth adapter driver:

Windows usually offer a generic driver that allows systems to recognize the network component. However, in order to use all available features of this hardware, you must install the appropriate drivers.

Installing the network/bluetooth adapter driver allows systems to read network chipset information and manufacturer name, as well as connect to a network without using an Ethernet cable (wirelss network/bluetooth adapter).

Updating the driver version can resolve different compatibility issues, fix related errors spotted throughout the product usage, add support for new operating systems, improve transfer speed, as well as bring various other changes.
