Table 1-6 Table 1-7 FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes Patches and Fixes in Version B.11.00.07 PHNE_15667 (Continued) Symptom Defect 4. The fddiif utility sometimes reports negative numbers in the statistics. 5. When the locale is set and lanadmin(1M) is used in the interactive mode, the following error message is displayed after a certain number of commands are executed: Cannot open shared library 4. though the statistics are maintained as unsigned integers by the driver, fddiif displayed them as signed values. 5. The EISA FDDI lanadmin(1M) shared library did not close the catalog file after using it. PHNE_13395 Symptom Defect 1. Inbound data corruption is seen on non-cache coherent systems when UDP checksum is turned off. This problem is observed readily on D200/D210 systems with EISA FDDI. 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 An underrun is seen on transmission of every frame larger than 3000 bytes when EISA SCSI is present. 2. When EISA SCSI is present, system firmware automatically disables BCLK stretching, resulting in a slight slowdown of the EISA bus. This, coupled with the limited bandwidth of the EISA bus, restricts the ability of the EISA FDDI card to DMA the packet at the rate needed by the FDDI network. The EISA FDDI card, by default, sets its transmit FIFO watermark to 2KB, which means that it starts transmission on the FDDI network after it has got 2 KB of data in its FIFO. This patch increases the watermark to the FDDI MTU (4352 bytes). 26 Chapter 1
