Table 1-1 FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes Patches and Fixes in Version B.10.20.11 Patches and Fixes in Version B.10.20.11 The following patches have been incorporated into this version of the FDDI/9000 EISA software: • PHNE_18869 • PHNE_17285 • PHNE_17061 • PHNE_15665 Details regarding these patches and/or fixes follow: PHNE_18869 Symptom Defect 1. The system panics with an instruction page fault with promiscuous mode enabled on the EISA FDDI interface. 2. The lanscan command does not show the interface status correctly for EISA FDDI interface. 3. Aborts/Underruns are observed when frames larger than 3000 bytes are transmitted, with EISA SCSI present on the system. 1. While dismantling a promiscuous stream, the promiscuous mode function pointer in the driver's board structure is set to NULL. If a packet destined for the same stream is processed on another processor simultaneously, it could result in an instruction page fault panic due to the function pointer being NULL. 2. The if_flags in the ifnet structure was not being updated properly on a ring disconnect indication being received. This results in the lanscan and ifconfig commands showing the interface status as up even when the cable is disconnected. 3. This problem was fixed in an earlier patch by increasing the transmit FIFO watermark on the FSI chip to MTU size. However, the FIFO watermark was getting reset to the default value after a card reset. Chapter 1 13
