PROBLEM: (DEKQB0007) (PATCH ID: OSF440-345) ******** This patch corrects a problem with some DE50x interfaces that use the Micro Linear ML6694F PHY. The ML6694F incorporates internal changes to make the link more stable when inserting/de-inserting a cable and on initial startups. Physical inspection of the interface is required to determine if an ML6694F is used. The ML6694F is one of the larger chips and is clearly marked for easy identification. This patch includes a run-time patchable variable called tu_6694_delay and it is ENABLED by default. If your DC21143 adapter does not have the ML6694F chip on it, you can set this flag to 0. As root, use dbx to change the parameter. #dbx -k /vmunix dbx> p tu_6694_delay 0 to permanently patch vmunix or dbx> a tu_6694_delay 0 to assign the value until next reboot dbx> q to exit PROBLEM: (CA1Q20449, 86317, 88209) (PATCH ID: OSF440-647) ******** This patch fixes a problem with the 400ms delay upon network cable reinsertion which could lead to temporarily held drivers.
