Updating nic drivers on a dell server

[Mister Natural]

I've got an old 2800 server which I'm troubleshooting some nic issues. It has Intel pro 1000 mt nic in it. There are no new dell drivers available but there are some much newer drivers on the intel site. Since this is a live server I want to check to see if anyone has issues upgrading nic drivers downloaded from intel on a dell server.

I doubt you'd have any issues. As long as the drivers are for that specific card then they should work just fine. You can always roll back if you have issues anyways.
