Network Card Drivers for a HP DL360e Rack Server

Just a quick one; had a new server to setup for a client and had real troubles finding the correct network drivers.

After much investigation, turns out that the driver you need for a DL360e rack server is:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome?sp4ts.oid=5317160&ac.admitted=1405944960782.876444892.492883150

Its the HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366i Adapter - the card is a quad port on-board

Why HP didn't add it to the downloads section on the 360e download page I don't know but hopefully this will save someone 30mins of messing around.

Cheers

-- Update --
It has come to my attention since writing this that I may have gone slightly awry when looking for the drivers. Apparently (and I haven't yet had a chance to check this) the drivers are embedded on the motherboard in some kind of flash memory which you can get to appear much like a USB drive by looking in the BIOS

I'd love to hear if this was true - anyone out there shed any light on this?
