EB-LINK has updated the firmware and driver compatibility list of fiber optic network cards this month, supplementing the verification records of VMware ESXi and Proxmox VE environments, covering commonly used models of 10G, 25G, and 100G speed platforms. Virtualization users can check before purchasing.
Why virtualization users should care about verification models
The host system frequently upgrades its kernel and patches, and the network card driver version must match the host environment. Even if models not in the list can be identified, they often manifest themselves as virtual network jitters, snapshot or live migration anomalies, and the troubleshooting cycle is measured in weeks. This time, the actual measurement results of the above scenarios are compiled into a comparison table, indicating the installation method, known limitations and recommended firmware version of each model.
Contents of this update
- Added verification records for common kernel combinations of ESXi 8.0 and Proxmox VE
- The models already on the shelves have been tested according to the new firmware one by one, and the spot batches will be arranged.

How customers use this list
Before purchasing, report the host system version and patch level to technical support, confirm the driver version according to the list and synchronize the firmware water level; if there is an abnormality in the kernel update after installation, you can also go back and compare the records.
