Subject:   Intel X710 NVM - Update not available

When starting on both FreeBSD and Linux the latest driver complains that 
the NVM should be updated.

As there's no FreeBSD NVM update utility available I got the machine 
temporarily booted into Linux however the updater reports:
"Update not available"

I've attached the log from an inventory run which I believe identifies 
the card as a dual port X710:
[02:00:00]: Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710
       LAN MAC: 3CFDFE007460
       Alt MAC: 000000000000
       SAN MAC: 3CFDFE007461
       EEPROM: ETrackId: 80001867, Checksum valid

       Flash: Size: 8388608, CIVD: 16.5.10
       Vendor: 8086 Device: 1572 Subvendor: 8086 Subdevice: 6 Revision: 1
           Type: PXE, Version: 1.0.10, Checksum: Not Relevant
           Type: ISCSI, Version: 3.0.44, Checksum: Not Relevant
           Type: ISCSI_SETUP, Version: 3.0.44, Checksum: Not Relevant
           Type: EFI_X64, Version: 1.1.33, Checksum: None
           Type: CLP_LOADER, Version: 3.0.30, Checksum: Valid
           Type: IMAGE_SHARED_40G, Version: 1.0.7, Checksum: Not Relevant

Looking in nvmupdate.cfg the device matches the XL710 but there's no 
match for EEPID which I believe corrisponds to the EEPROM: EtrackID of 
80001867.

So the question is where do I get the right NVM update from?

./nvmupdate64e -l update.log
