更新aqn-108网卡的固件

发现原因

在日志文件 /var/log/vmkernel.log 中发现一行记录：

2021-08-23T17:27:36.834Z cpu24:2097768)atlantic: Claiming PCI device [0x1d6a:0xd108 0x0001:0x1d6a]

这应该是表示网卡的固件版本（太低）而不被 atlantic 驱动支持。

刷新固件

打开 Marvell 的官方网站，进入驱动下载页面：

Support | Driver Downloads | - Marvell

“Part Number” 选择 “AQN-108”，在显示出来的驱动内容中找到 “firmware updater utility”，下载下来 MarvellFlashUpdate_v1.8.0_3.1.121.zip ：

参照 readme.txt 中的详细说明，在 windows 下刷新 aqn-108 的固件为最新版本。

备注：在这里也可以下载到这个网卡最新的windows和linux驱动。

重新启动

重启 esxi，就能正确的识别并驱动 aqn-108 网卡了。

控制台上也可以在 “物理网卡” 中看到这张 aqn-108 网卡：

后记

反省一下，二十年diy生涯，今天第一次刷网卡固件，汗，见识太少一下子没反应过来网卡也有固件。。。

思维定势，我从来没有玩过高级网卡，甚至都不知道还有网卡固件这回事，导致我没有往这里去想。

后面HP 544+ 网卡到货，第一时间开始刷最新固件。
