How to check/update NIC drivers

[AiroSam]

I'm wanting to make sure we have the latest NIC drivers installed on our VM, how would I go about checking that?

Do you have a NIC as PCI inside the VM?
Please post the VM config qm config <VMID> as well.

I believe I do not have the NIC as a PCI, but rather as a virtual Network Device.

Here is the VM config:

root@r59:~# qm config 100
boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0
cores: 22
cpu: host
ide2: none,media=cdrom
memory: 30080

net2: virtio=7A:2B:3E:F4:ED:F1,bridge=vmbr5,firewall=1,queues=8

If your guest VM is Windows OS, you can download the last or stable of VirtIO [0] and update the Device.
On Linux OS apt update && apt full-upgrade

Sadly our guest VM is not windows OS

So you run LInux inside?

Drivers are maintained by the Linux distribution you installed, you can check virtio_net version with:

> modinfo virtio_net

It's RouterOS, which is Linux-based. I don't think there is a way to check/update the driver from within RouterOS.

Why not? Ask RouterOS support.
