Table 1-7 Table 1-8 FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes Patches and Fixes in Version B.11.00.07 PHNE_13395 (Continued) Symptom Defect 3. HPMCs could occur during the execution of the code that autorecovers the interface after transmit time. 3. The transmit hang autorecovery code uses the kernel sleep/wakeup synchronization mechanism t await the completion of events. As autorecovery could be initiated with no process context, the above scheme does not work. The fix incorporates an interrupt driven state transition mechanism t complete the recovery. PHNE_18665 Symptom Defect 1. When the MTU of the EISA FDDI interface is set or reset using the lanadmin(1M) command with -M or -R options respectively, the command completes without any errors but does not set/reset the MTU value for the interfaces. 2 When lanadmin(1M) is used to set the physical address of the interface to the broadcast address (0xfffffffffffff) or to 0 (0x000000000000), the command succeeds. 1. A missing cache purge at the time the receive buffer is set up causes stale data to appear in the received packed. The stale data starts at cache line boundaries and can run to multiples of the cache line size. 2. When the lanadmin(1M) command is used with the -A option to set the physical address of the interface to either 0x000000000000 or 0xffffffffffff, the driver did not check for these addresses and set the physical address correctly. This is inconsistent with the behavior of other networking cards/drivers that prevent the physical address from being set to the above values. The driver has been fixed to return an error (EINVAL) for the above values. Chapter 1 27
