Detect if you need to flash or not #18

Hi, I have a Z490 Vision-D and I was curious to know if I could use I225-V on Monterey so before flashing anything I wanted to be able to save my current firmware and I have discovered that it might be possible to know if one need a flash or not. I have downloaded here the Intel I225 Firmware Update Tool and uncompress on my desktop: Then as an administrator you can run:

PS C:\Users\smart\OneDrive\Bureau\Nvmupdate145> .\i225\nvmupdatew64e.exe -i -l

So normally I would not need to flash but for the moment when I connect an ethernet cable it says connected but I cannot have access to internet and I don't get an ip from dhcp. It's even worst if I boot with the ethernet cable connected MacOS just freezes, Here is what I get in System report:

Thanks for the commands. I will integrade it in my guide. But as far as I know, all Z490 Visiin G boards have this issue or at least the users I know who have this board. Maybe the Vision D uses a different hardware revisin of the rom which is not affected
