Table 1-5
PHNE_16503
Symptom
Defect
1. The driver fails to disable previously
enabled multicast addresses, with error
code set to ‘EINVAL’.
1. When lanadmin(1M) is run with the
-M option to set the MTU for the
interface, or with the -R option to reset
it to the default value, it sends a
‘change MTU’ ioctl (I/O Control)
request to the driver. The driver did not
handle this request nor returned an
error. As a result, the lanadmin(1M)
command completed without errors,
but did not set/reset the MTU. The
driver has been fixed to handle the ioctl
request and enhance set/reset the MTU
as expected. An error (EINVAL) is
returned if the driver cannot handle the
request. For example, EINVAL is
returned when the requested MTU
value is too high (>4352) or too low
(<100).
2. The driver returns garbled data
when queried for statistics by
applications using the Network
Management library calls.
2. the Network Management functions
use the DL_HP_GET_MIB_STATS
ioctl
to communicate with the
driver. This
ioctl
was not supported.
