    <description>&lt;P&gt;Did you make sure the firmware version and network card driver version are compatible with one another?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;potentially it may come down to uninstalling the vib and re-installing the downgraded version, im not sure entirely the process but my guess would be in that order. there maybe a way to install the older vib first and then remove the higher level which means you only have to go through a reboot once which might save some time.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;to downgrade the driver, as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3608483"&gt;@CLINZ&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;stated, you need to remove the newer driver (without reboot should be fine) and install the previous one. After a reboot the previous driver will be loaded then.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As the firmware is developed and flashed using tools from the hardware vendor, I'd recommend to discuss and confirm necessary steps with the hardware vendor. Some NICs have different software components on their physical NICs, so downgrades could be cause more issues than solve. Therefore, better verify with hardware vendor first.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Patrik&lt;/P&gt;</description>
