PROBLEM: (77530, 79343) (PATCH ID: OSF505-053) ******** This patch updates the emx Fiber Channel driver to revision 1.22 which corrects a Data Error that is seen when running with the latest Emulex firmware. This error corrupts data when reading from the disk. This revision also fixes an error that causes performance degradation. PROBLEM: (BCPM804R1) (PATCH ID: OSF505-141) ******** This patch fixes the following DE600/DE602 10/100 Ethernet adapters problems: - the primary CPU may appear hung on networks where switches send "Flow Control Pause" frames if they become overloaded, and - transmit timeout messages appearing in the console log due to the driver timing out a frame. PROBLEM: (none) (PATCH ID: OSF505-140) ******** This patch provides support for the DEGPA-TA (1000BaseT) Gigabit Ethernet device. PROBLEM: (82173, 82174, 82682, 83069, 82134, 84017, 84089, 84403, 84513, 85200) (PATCH ID: OSF505-227) ******** This patch fixes a problem where cascaded switches can hang the system at failover time. PROBLEM: (BCPMA1QJ4, 83367) (PATCH ID: OSF505-235) ******** This patch fixes kernel build failures due to an undefined ss_sched function. PROBLEM: (83662, 83714) (PATCH ID: OSF505-195) ******** The receiver on the DE60x will hang. Packets can be sent from the interface but are never received. "netstat -s -i" will typically show a high number of data overruns for the affected interface. Running "ifconfig down" followed by "ifconfig up" will restart the receiver, as will rebooting. lan_config behavior was not as expected with previous versions of the DE60x driver. There are two options to lan_config, -s (speed) and -x (mode). "lan_config -s100" would revert the mode to half-duplex, since "-x" was omitted. Conversely, "lan_config -x1" would revert the speed to 10, since "-s" was omitted. A workaround is to always specify "-s" and "-x" on the lan_config command-line. PROBLEM: (none) (PATCH ID: OSF505-142) ******** This patch provides the device driver support for 3DLabs Oxygen VX1 graphics adapter. PROBLEM: (85404) (PATCH ID: OSF505-255) ******** This patch fixes a problem with the driver for Gigabit Ethernet adapters (DEGPA-FA and DEGPA-TA) which prevented its use in a NetRAIN (Redundant Array of Independent Network Adapters) set. In order to add an interface to a NetRAIN set, the interface must not be busy. However, even when the Gigabit Ethernet interface ("alt") is not explicitly started by the system administrator or by a startup script, sometimes the interface will be started automatically as a result of activity on the network. If an attempt is then made to add this interface to a NetRAIN set, NetRAIN will report that the device is busy and thus cannot be used. This patch corrects the Gigabit Ethernet driver so that it will not start unless explicity told to do so by either the system administrator or by a startup script.
