Thanks for the reply. Al least for me the SFP+ modules are Intel FTLX8571D3BCVIT1 which are explicitly mentioned as compatible by Intel for this card (SFP+ Modules, SFP Modules, and Cables Compatible with Intel® Ethernet... ).
So, ashishsingh1508 can you kindly explain what firmware you're referring to? On the nic itself? I believe the firmware is current for the card.
