DESCRIPTION:
With the HP ProLiant Network Configuration Utility, you can configure and monitor HP ProLiant Network Interface Controllers (NIC) running under Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

Enhancements/Fixes: 
1) This driver update resolves a blue screen error caused by the teaming driver (cpqteam.sys) when the system experiences low resource conditions under extreme traffic loads.
2) The basic statistics page in NCU now reflects more useful statistics. These statistics provide a better general idea of the current state of the adapter:
   -  Provides an "Advanced" button that allows the viewing of granular transmit and receive data 
   -  Allows statistics to be reset 
   -  Displays the current speed and duplex settings of the NIC 
   -  Displays the current throughput of Gigabit NICs
