Hi, I checked internally. Our download records are assigned expiration dates, and once the expiration date is reached, the record is automatically unpublished.
For the NVM Update Utility for Intel® Ethernet Adapters 700 Series - Linux* version 9.52, the record was assigned a shorter-than-intended expiration date and was therefore unpublished. This has since been corrected, and version 9.52 is now available for download again.

I had not noticed that. But do you know the reason why 9.52 has been unlisted from the Linux download page? Is it a mistake? Thank you. Kind regards.
