Review: https://review.fuel-infra.org/32488

It's a little bit confusing me when people from Intel sends me to sourceforge for intel drivers.

@sli6 could you confirm please that driver version 1.6.42 from downloadcenter.intel.com support these cards?

Hi Ivan,

Yes, 1.6.42 supports 25G.
Thank you,
Sibai
