Hi,
trying to install latest driver for my Network Adapter & I must be doing something wrong.
Found at Intel this driver which appears to be most current = Network Adapter Gigabit Base Driver for FreeBSD* Driver Date = 2/5/2016, Driver version = 7.6.1 (latest)
Downloaded em-7.6.1.tar.gz & I used 7-Zip to Extract Here which created a file name of em-7.6.1.tar, then used 7-Zip again to Extract Here (or untar) to create em-7.6.1. However all that exists in the newly created em-7.6.1 folder is an src file & a couple of readme's.
In other words there is no Application or .exe as I would expect to see in a driver install. I did from Device Manger try to update the driver by browsing to the src file & was told I already had the best driver installed.
Currently the driver I have installed is dated 6/25/12, version 10.1.10.1 & is provided by Microsoft.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? Did I unzip/untar inappropriately?
thank you,
richie
