Latest catalog contains a network firmware released in in 2017 [root[NAME] /]# drm --details -r=C6420_bms:1.20 | grep -i net|__ Network_Firmware_HJP7D_LN64_16.00.19_A00-00.BIN 16.00.19 22.66 MB|__ Network_Firmware_7N5GW_WN64_10.01.00_A00-00.EXE 10.01.00 13.11 MB previous catalog had the same version for both windows and linux bundles: |__ Network_Firmware_7J55N_LN64_15.35.06_A00.BIN 15.35.06 16.64 MB|__ Network_Firmware_7J55N_WN64_15.35.06_A00.EXE 15.35.06 7.32 MB My C6420 was updated to this version: > Successfully updated the QLogic 10GE 2P QL41112HxCU-DE Adapter firmware to version 10.01.00. it seems the catalog is missing version "16.00.19" for the windows package as well, and delivers an antique version instead.
