Here is the suggested matching list which has been tested and verified. The detailed information can refer to chapter Tested Platforms/Tested NICs in release notes." The table is only showing the out-of-tree Kernel driver versions. The tested section shows that in-tree Kernel drivers are tested with as well. The issue is that this section says "Here is the suggested matching list" and only lists out-of-tree drivers. It is probably just a left over from when in-tree drivers had version numbers but it is causing some confusion for users as it implies that the Intel recommendation is to use out-of-tree drivers and not in-tree. So I suggest that another column is added here to also show the in-tree kernel driver tested with.
