Release notes for SMCPWR.LAN (Novell ODI Server driver) V(2.14) --------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************** * * * M I N O R R e l e a s e * * * ***************************************************************** Changes: -------- - Changed the destructors to delete memory on-line thereby reducing max memory usage during CreateNIC and footprint afterwards (55% max, and 75% footprint). - Added DC21041 autosense support. - Added a special flavour of the driver that is SPEC 3.2 compliant (i.e. does not use NBI from Novell) in order to have a solution for the Netware 3.11 platforms. - Added updates of 10/100 switching in the config tables. - Corrected the NC and LC wrong count on full duplex problem. - Updated the README files to show current kit (including 3.11 support) - Fixed a problem in WriteCSR6 that caused a hang on certain SMP machines. Changes in ODI 32 bit driver v2.13: ----------------------------------- - Fixed the problem where DC21140 was not working properly because the GEP control word was not written correctly. - Solved the problem whereSMP machines with secondary APIC did nor send interrupts to the driver because we limited the interrupt number to 15 (max) which is NOT true in SMP. - Added SROM spec v4.00 support. - Added MICROLINEAR support, both FORCE and AUTOSENSE.
