Vmware Ixgbe Driver Download

Post by Annie90 »

I recently upgraded my VMware software and noticed that my network adapter driver, specifically the ixgbe driver, is outdated. I've been searching for the latest version of the driver to download, but haven't had any luck finding it. I tried visiting the official VMware website, but they only provide updates for their software and not individual drivers. I also searched on various driver update websites, but they either didn't have the ixgbe driver or the versions available were outdated. Could someone please provide me with a reliable source or a direct link to download the ixgbe driver for VMware? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
