Version 8.27.1  April 05, 2005      
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ12609 5702a2 has assertion errors running HCT12.1 XP32-SP2 
        driver verifier using checked built driver.
        This problem can cause Windows HCT Certification failures with
        checked build driver.  This miniport driver's function UM_Reset which
        can be called by Windows NDIS driver or HCT Certification tests; would
        have to be called in order to show this problem.
        Driver versions that had this problem were 8.24, 8.25, 8.26 and 8.27.
      Cause:
        Modification of 5714 device reset handling in a previous
        driver introduced a bug in the driver where a HW reset 
        would not be issued to older 5700, 5701, 5702, and 5703 
        devices.
      Change:
        Corrected driver support and Reset for all device types.

   Enhancements:
   =============
  1.  Request: 
        Under certain circumstances (usually in peer-to-peer configurations),
        the dynamic interrupt coalescing algorithm could occasionally set
        the interrupt coalescing thresholds to values that were sub-optimal.
        This change was related to observations made while investigating
        CQ 7735 and CQ 11231. Due to the fact that network traffic is 
        bursty, it is not practical to always be able to set the "perfect"
        interrupt coalescing threshold values at any given time for any 
        given workload.  However, this change should help some in some
        conditions.  Even without this change, performance was still
        "good" in the vast majority of cases.
      Change:
        Modified the dynamic interrupt coalescing algorithm.  Used SW packet
        counters rather than HW packet counters.  Added code to wait slightly
        longer for performance to stabilize after interrupt threshold
        parameter changes, and slightly modified the threshold values.
        This change was originally prototyped in the v7.90z driver.
      Impact:
        Performance characteristics could change slightly, especially in
        peer-to-peer configurations.

  4.  Problem:
        CQ12587 Add 4 ID match support for OEM new project.
      Cause:
        New 4 ID match support request by OEM.
      Change:
        Added new 4 ID match for OEM project.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12587 issue.  

  5.  Problem:
        Remove support for 5714, 5715, 5780 controllers.
      Cause:
        The specified controllers are not available.
      Change:
        Removed support for the devices in the inf files.
        Changed device driver to not load on the affected parts.
      Impact:
        None.



Version 8.25  March 26, 2005      
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ12524  Checksum failed when ASF writes to NVRAM from windows.
        This problem only occurs on Baxter Device IDs 0x1600 and 0x1601 that 
        introduce NVRAM Address Lockout feature for protection of TPM firmware
        and its environment.
      Cause:
        Prior drivers supporting Baxter IDs 0x1600 and 0x1601 did not check
        for new NVRAM hardware address lockout status and tried to access
        NVRAM unconditionally. This resulted in TPM firmware to stop running
        when a configuration change was performed in ASF or TPM configuration
        by use of the Windows Driver NVRAM access functions.
      Change:
        Modified Windows Driver to first check for NVRAM address lockout and 
        follow new access arbitration procedure.
        Updated driver for support of all NVRAM devices following a does not 
        verify status report on one NVRAM vendor device.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12524 issue which caused ASF capable NIC or LOM to disappear
        from ASFConfig.exe display screen when a configuration option was changed
        earlier with the same utility.  The configuration update is stored in NVRAM and
        when NVRAM has a checksum failure; it does not get listed anymore in 
        ASFConfig.exe utility.
         


Version 8.24  March 24, 2005      
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ12389 Remove PCI 4 part ID match support for OEM.
      Cause:
        Change in OEM project device usage.
      Change:
        Removed PCI 4 part ID match for OEM.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12389 issue.  

  2.  Problem:
        CQ12499 Add 4 ID match support for OEM new project.
      Cause:
        New 4 ID match support request by OEM.
      Change:
        Added new 4 ID match for OEM project.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12499 issue.  

  3.  Problem:
        CQ12454 Use memory coherent macros for proper 
        AMD64 platform Register Read and Write accesses.
        This issue is only applicable to AMD64 systems and 
        is a direct result of updated Windows Device Driver Kit (DDK)
        supporting AMD64 driver builds.
      Cause:
        Original DDK and driver implementation did not have
        these macros defined and used. 
      Change:
        Added newly defined KeMemoryBarrier() AMD64 DDK 
        function call to Broadcom Driver Register memory mapped
        Read and Write accesses.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12454 issue and conform to the new AMD64 DDK
        Windows Driver specifications.

  4.  Problem:
        CQ12462 System hang or blue screen when ReverseNway is enabled.
        System hang or blue screen when running loopback test on single
        processor systems with multi-processor kernel.
      Cause:
        Fix for CQ12264 did not properly handle spinlock usage on
        single processor systems vs. multi-processor systems.
        Fix for CQ12264 did not properly handle spinlock dependencies
        when the ReverseNway feature was enabled.
      Change:
        Corrected spinlock code in the loopback test to properly qualify
        the releasing and acquiring of PHY_LOCK with the MpTuning variable
        in the MM_IndicateStatus routine.
        Removed references to releasing and acquiring of MAIN_LOCK in the
        MM_IndicateStatus routine.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12462.

  5.  Problem:
        CQ12517 OEM Device does not show all applicable advanced options. 
      Cause:
        The install file only allowed OEM mobile options.
      Change:
        Modified OEM device support to show all applicable advanced options. 
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12517 issue.  

  6.  Problem:
        CQ12524  Checksum failed when ASF writes to NVRAM from windows.
        This problem only occurs on Baxter Device IDs 0x1600 and 0x1601 that 
        introduce NVRAM Address Lockout feature for protection of TPM firmware
        and its environment.
      Cause:
        Prior drivers supporting Baxter IDs 0x1600 and 0x1601 did not check
        for new NVRAM hardware address lockout status and tried to access
        NVRAM unconditionally. This resulted in TPM firmware to stop running
        when a configuration change was performed in ASF or TPM configuration
        by use of the Windows Driver NVRAM access functions.
      Change:
        Modified Windows Driver to first check for NVRAM address lockout and 
        follow new access arbitration procedure.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12524 issue which caused ASF capable NIC or LOM to disappear
        from ASFConfig.exe display screen when a configuration option was changed
        earlier with the same utility.  The configuration update is stored in NVRAM and
        when NVRAM has a checksum failure; it does not get listed anymore in 
        ASFConfig.exe utility.

  7.  Problem:
        CQ12519 Driver to Bootcode handshake during Windows Shutdown
        requires update so that normal and fast boot versions of Bootcode
        can initialize properly in conjunction with Windows Driver loading and 
        unloading.
      Cause:
        Original driver implementation in all prior releases.

        ported device when ever a chip Reset is performed.
      Cause:
        Addition of 5714 device support.
      Change:
        Added peer to peer messages between the two driver instances 
        running on dual ported 5714 devices. 
      Impact:
        Support of 5714 devices.  





Version 8.23  March 16, 2005   
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        Add support back for PCI IDs 0x1600, 0x1601, 0x1668, 0x1669, 
        0x166A, 0x166B which will install the following Broadcom models:
        BCM5714C, BCM5714S, BCM5780C, BC5780S, BC5752, BCM5752M. 
      Change:
        Added the above PCI IDs to all NDIS  INF  installation support files. 

  2.  Problem:
        CQ12457 Few Transmit CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) errors seen
        at the Switch counters when Jumbo Frames are enabled and used
        extensively on 57xx Adapters and LOMs.
        These Transmit CRC errors are only applicable when Jumbo Packets
        advanced option is enabled and used. These Transmit CRC errors
        will not be seen by the other system which is receiving the Jumbo 
        Packets since the Switch retransmits all frames in between the two
        connected ports.  Cable length and quality are also important factors
        in CRC Transmit errors that are observed by the Switch.
      Change:
        Added setting of PHY Control Register FIFO Elasticity Enable option;
        when Jumbo Packets are enabled on all 57xx NIC and LOM devices.
        This is a minor improvement to reduce and eliminate Transmit CRC
        errors observed at the Switch port connected to the 57xx Device. 
      Cause:
        Original Driver implementation did not enable this PHY option.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12457  issue.

        installation files that included 0x1600, and 0x1668 Device IDs which
        were not fully tested.
      Change:
        Removed NT4 and Win98Me INF entries that supported  0x1600, 
        0x1668 Device IDs.
      Cause:
        Prior released driver.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12410 and CQ12408  issues.

        CQ12357 Add 4 ID match support for OEM new project.
      Cause:
        New 4 ID match support request by OEM.
      Change:
        Added new 4 ID match for OEM project.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12357 issue.  



Version 8.22  March 08, 2005
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ12264 Blue screen when running Driver Verifier and control suite
        diags.
      Cause:
        The driver was improperly holding a spinlock during the
        loopback test.
      Change:
        Corrected the driver to release spinlocks during the loopback
        test.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12264 issue.

  2.  Problem:
        CQ12026 A TPM NVRAM access could fail if driver reset the 575x device
        during the attempted TPM NVRAM access
      Cause:
        The NDIS driver would acquire the NVRAM lock before doing a reset and then
        halt the internal CPU to prevent NVRAM contention between driver and 
        bootcode.  However, the driver would then release the NVRAM lock right 
        before doing the chip reset.  This left a tiny window of vulnerability
        for the TPM to initiate an NVRAM access right after the driver released
        the NVRAM lock and right before the driver issued a reset to the 
        device.  If the driver were to issue a reset while the TPM was trying to 
        make an NVRAM access, the reset would cause the TPM NVRAM access to fail, 
        which could cause a higher level TPM command to fail.  This problem has
        never been reported by a customer in the field, but was seen doing 
        exhaustive low-level testing at Broadcom.
      Change:
        Changed the device driver to acquire nvram lock during device resets for
        5751 and 5752 family of devices (the only devices that support TPM).
      Impact:
        Resolves CQ 12026.  There should be no side effects from this change.


Version 8.21  March 03, 2005
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ12082 Driver Verifier Enable/Disable Test for HCT 12.0 fails for
        7.104 NDIS 5.1 Driver.
      Cause:
        Some RX packets were not processed back into the driver, and driver
        returned successfully from its Halt function.
      Change:
        Added driver wait to get RX packets back from NDIS, prior to returning
        successfully from the driver Halt function.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12082 issue.

  2.  Problem:
        Remove support for 5752, 5753, 5714, 5715 controllers.

  2.  Problem:
        64bit addressing capability is not being advertised for PCI-E devices.
      Cause:
        The driver was not advertising correct addressing capabilities for
        PCI-E devices.
      Change:
        Changed 64bit addressing advertising code for PCI-E devices.
      Impact:
        None. 

  3.  Problem:

        The dma watermarks was not being initialized correctly.
      Change:
        Corrected dma watermark initialization code for 5714.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12275.

  5.  Problem:
        CQ12149 Network tray icon shows no link after remove CPM and then
        insert DLink ESM.
      Cause:
        The device driver did not turn off hardware autoneg before checking
        if the device is receiving Rx Config word.
      Change:
        Changed the device driver to turn off H/W autoneg before reading
        the MAC status register.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ12149.

----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ 11764, Burned in address shows up as Multicast or wrong address on NICs with 
        IPMI.
      Cause:
        The HaltCpu() routine incorrectly releases the Rx/Tx CPU NVRAM grant if it halts 
        a CPU currently asserting its NVRAM arbitration request. This is incorrect because 
        the driver has no way to know which CPU (Tx or Rx) is currently the NVRAM grant owner, 
        and therefore should not issue a dummy read and should not release the grant (see HaltCpu()).
        Also, the driver at various places was issuing a dummy read w/o waiting for the result.
        The above errors break the NVRAM access protocol.
      Change:
         For the 5704 and 5703 chips, _both_ CPUs are halted. All NVRAM reads now wait for
         the result.

        CQ11969 In OEM System, when CPM cat 5 cable is disconnected 
        from secondary switch; CPU utilization jump to 40+%
      Cause:
        The driver was using a blocking wait Windows kernel call to wait for completion of 
        5704 Serdes Fiber port Soft Reset operation.
      Change:
        Modified driver to no longer use blocking Windows kernel call for waiting and wait
        without holding other threads.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ11969 issue.

Version 8.11  December 09, 2004
----------------------------------------
  1. Problem:
        CQ11147 - Performance lower than expected in a few rare test scenarios
        with 5751 family of devices. When this occurred, throughput would 
        periodically drop to zero for short periods of time which would lower
        the average throughput. This problem was only seen when running
        high throughput peer-to-peer performance tests with a single Linux
        client.  The issue would not be seen in tests involving multiple 
        remote stations, or tests involving Windows clients
      Cause:
        Algorithm to coalesce send producer index updates on 5705 devices
        was also used on 5751 devices.  This is unnecessary on with 5751.
      Change:
        Do not coalesce send producer index updates on 5751 family devices
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ 11147.  There are no side-effects of this change.

  2. Problem:

      Cause:
        Driver was returning wrong data size of 8 bytes instead of 4 bytes.
      Change:
        Modified driver to return 4 bytes data for all Dot3Stats OIDs.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ11151 issue.

   4. Problem
       CQ11472 Unstable PLL output can lead to the chip lock-up when
       transitioning to D3 Cold.
       Extremely rare HW lock-up on 5751 devices when going into S3/S4
       that causes the 5751 to intermittently not be visible to the system
       after resuming from S3/S4.
      Cause:
        The lock-up occurs due to an unstable PLL output ,due to internal
        clock switching when PERST# is asserted when entering S3/S4.
      Change:
        Set hardware control register to values that prevent 
        Phase Lock Loop to power down & do Core clock switching.
      Impact:
         Higher power consumption in S3/S4 on the 5751 family of devices

  5. Problem:

  6. Problem:
        CQ11453, CQ 11454 - BACS not working correctly under NT 4.
      Cause:
        A change in v7.92 of the driver to address CQ 9949 introduced a new
        problem that occurred only under NT 4 (not on W2K, XP, or W2K3).  The 
        new problem was that certain IOCTL calls down to the driver issued
        by BMAPI (on behalf of BACS) would fail, because the driver was no
        longer advertising support for private OIDs due to the change for 
        CQ 9949.  NT4 appears to block IOCTL calls for OIDs that are not 
        explicitly advertised.
      Change:
        Modified driver advertise all private OIDs in NDIS 4 and NDIS 3.1
        versions of the driver.  
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ11453 and 11454.  This will not break CQ 9949 because that
        issue was specific to newer operating systems (later than NT 4).

  7. Problem:
        CQ11487 - AMD64 inf is missing Checksum Offload, LargeSend, and Wirespeed options

 1. Problem:
        CQ10758 TPM - 5751 A4 LOM in OEM system with ASF Enabled fails S1 
        Waker/Dozer Test.
      Cause:
        This is due to the driver "resuming" from a sleep state and reading PHY registers 
        while the ASF FW could be simultaneously reading those registers. 
      Change:
        The fix to this problem is to gracefully stop the internal CPU before making any 
        PHY accesses in the "resume" code (the OID_SET_POWER handler).
      Impact:
        None.

 2. Problem:
        CQ10863 GEN_OID_RCV_ERROR is not incrementing when an error packet is received. 
      Cause:
        Original driver implementation did not increment this count when Oversized,  Undersized,

      Cause:
        Performance testing shows that Large Send Offload operations can be improved on
        575x devices, by changing the value of this parameter from 8 to 2.
      Change:
        Modified driver to set recommended value to this parameter for 575x devices.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ10991 issue.

  5. Problem:
        CQ10985 System cannot wake with Magic Packet using LAA MAC Network Address
        set with Advanced Options when ASF is also enabled.
      Cause:
        The driver shutdown handler did not update the WOL MAC Network Address with 
        custom LAA values in the case of ASF enabled condition.
      Change:
        Modified driver to set custom LAA values accordingly when Windows is doing shutdown.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ10985 issue.

  6. Problem:
        CQ10965 Excessive power consumption on 5751 BX parts when cable is disconnected.

        Updated the driver to do proper ASF handshake and control register sharing
        for resume of ASF PET operation.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ10350 issue.





Version 7.86 August 23, 2004
---------------------------------

 1. Problem:
        CQ10816  CHKINF fails in HCT12 for XP-SP2 installation.

        An install section was missing in the b57win32.inf v7.85 INF file.
      Change:
        Added the missing install section.
      Impact:
        Correct CQ10816 issue.



Version 7.85 August 19, 2004
---------------------------------

 1. Problem:
        CQ10748 The "LargeSendOffload" registry key was being mistakenly added to
        the Windows 2000 registry. This key should not be added to the W2K registry
        because of serious problems with LSO feature in the original release of W2K
        (before the release of the W2K service packs). 
        This issue is applicable to the unified install inf file b57win32.inf and only one 
        specific OEM with PCI SubSystem ID of 0x1028.
        Prior released versions of b57win32.inf that had this installation issue for OEM 
        with SubSystem ID of 0x1028 were 7.76 to 7.84.
      Cause:
        This key was originally present only in the Windows XP INF. However, when
        the Windows 2000 and Windows XP INF files were merged into a single INF,
        the INF was not modified so that this key would only be added on Windows XP
        and not added for Windows 2000. 
      Change:
        The unified Windows 2000 and Windows XP INF was modified to not add
        LargeSendOffload key to the registry when the driver is installed on 
        Windows 2000.
      Impact:
        No side effects.

2. Problem:
        CQ10781:  OEM System with 57xx PCI-E Device does NMI (blue screen) after
        PXE boot from Venturcom BXP PXE server.
 Cause:
        The root cause of the problem is that the Venturcom BXP PXE Server does not
        shutdown the UNDI driver after PXE boot has completed.
        This problem does not occur with PXE server products from other vendors.
        The 7.84 driver detects during initialization that the LAN device has not been
        shutdown properly by the PXE/UNDI software, and it attempts to gracefully
        workaround this by resetting the device.
        During this attempt to reset the 57xx PCI-E device, the PCI-E link flaps
        (link down/up) which causes an "unexpected link change" on the chipset side.
        Depending on the chipset configuration, this can lead to an NMI.
        This problem only occurs on PCI-E devices, and does not occur on standard PCI devices.
      Change:
        Modified the device driver to gracefully reset 57xx PCI-E devices without causing the
        PCI-E link to go down/up,  in the case that the PXE UNDI driver had not been halted
        at the time of  Windows initialization of the device driver.
      Impact:
        None



Version 7.84 August 05, 2004
---------------------------------

 1. Problem:
        CQ10705  A NMI was observed when a Windows "shutdown" occurred on a  OEM 
        5751M LOM based platform running 10mb, with WOL disabled, no ASF enabled.  The
        problem could only occur if WOL was disabled, and the system was running at 10mb.
      Cause:
        The original driver Shutdown sequence (with no WOL and no ASF) powered off the GPHY
        prior to disabling device TX and RX blocks.  The GPHY was powered-down to save 
        power. Since the GPHY was disabled, the clock to certain MAC registers was intended
        to be switched to a slower clock derived from the core clock.  However, a bug was 
        recently discovered in this logic which could lead to those registers having a very slow
        clock (or no clock) in this situation.  This in turn, could lead to scenarios where read transactions 
        to those registers was not completed in a timely manner.  This could cause the chipset to 
        assert an NMI after 10ms if the read was not yet completed.  In the failing case, it was 
        observed that the read did complete, but it took up to 21ms to complete..
      Change:
        Modified driver to first disable the device RX and TX blocks and then power off the PHY
        if no WOL and ASF were enabled.
      Impact:
        No side effects.


Version 7.83 August 05, 2004
---------------------------------

   1. Problem:
        CQ10672  LAN driver yellow bang, or TPM failure, during focused LAN driver 
         halt/re-initialize testing.
      Cause:
        The driver could write to a new NVRAM control register in 5751 HW without
        holding the NVRAM lock.  This coud cause a problem if the TPM function and 
        the LAN driver both simultaneously tried to access NVRAM.  This problem is
        highly timing dependent.  Under normal circumstances, the only time that the 
        driver acceses NVRAM is when loading the driver.
      Change:
        Re-ordered some code fragments to ensure that Nvram control register
        in question is only accessed while the driver is holding the NVRAM lock.  
      Impact:
        This driver is compatible with TPM.


   2. Problem:
        CQ10532  Sychronize AMD 64 device support with XP 32.
      Cause:
            The AMD 64 install inf file did not have OEM PCI ID match for supported device.
      Change:
        Added OEM PCI ID device support to AMD 64 inf install file. 
      Impact:
        Fix CQ10532 issue.

      Change:
        Increased Windows AMD 64 device support to the same level as Windows XP 32.  
      Impact:
         Fix CQ10532 issue.

   3. Problem:
        CQ10543  OEM LOM shows "Fiber" in adapter properties.
      Cause:
            Original name requested by OEM; which has now requested to remove Fiber word. 
      Change:
        Change network adapter device name to string supplied by OEM.  
      Impact:
         Fix CQ10543 issue.

   4. Problem:
        CQ10576  Broadcom Server CD v7.6.3\b57dtect.dll displays wrong copyright date.

      Change:
        Released new DLL with proper copyright date.  
      Impact:
         Fix CQ10576 issue.

   5. Problem:
        CQ10575 Broadcom Server CD v7.6.3\b57dtect.dll - wrong DLL file version.
      Cause:
            The DLL released in this CD and v7.81 driver was the same binary as 7.80 which had old file version.
      Change:
        Released new DLL with proper DLL version.  
      Impact:
         Fix CQ10575 issue.

   6. Problem:
        CQ10578  Broadcom 7.81 AMD64 INF has .CAT file section commented out.

   8. Problem:
        CQ10539  Broadcom 5788 Device Performance decreased with latest driver compared to previous driver.
      Cause:
        Driver 5788 special dummy register reads at the start of ISR, these were only needed for 5788 A0 chip.
      Change:
        Removed 5788 A0 support, support can be restored by defining POSTED_READ_PATCH in sources.  
      Impact:
        Fix CQ10539 issue.

   9. Problem:
        CQ10671  OEM LOM Design Wake On Link Change option does not work; while WOL by IP Ping & MP works OK.
        This problem does not occur on Broadcom evaluation NICs.
      Cause:
        Driver did not set Wake On Link Change option to hardware on one of code paths.
      Change:
        Verified driver now sets Wake On Link Change option whenever the advanced property has selected it.  
      Impact:
         Fix CQ10671 issue.

   10. Problem:
        CQ10681  OEM request to change default Flow Control setting to disable.

         Fix CQ10681 issue.

   11. Problem:
        CQ10691 Running Chariot with 1Byte buffer size causes the interface to hang.
        This problem only occurs when an application attempts to transmit a packet 
        that contains a huge number (e.g. hundreds) of very small buffer fragments
        and that it would be highly unusual for a real application to do this. 
        This problem was found when using an artificial test scenario that intentionally
        forced this condition.
      Cause:
        The fix for CQ9262 related to highly fragmented transmit packet buffers
        was implemented in the multi-processors code path but was not implemented 
        in the single processor code path.
      Change:
        Implemented fix for CQ9262 in the single processor code path.
      Impact:
        Fix CQ10691 issue.

            Lower power consumption for 5750 devices configured for 10mb WakeOnLan.


Version 7.77 June 8, 2004
---------------------------------

   1. Problem:
            CQ9033 Flow control does not work consistantly.
      Cause:
            When the phy is initially powered on, the default behavior
            is to not advertise flow control.
      Change:
            Restart autoneg when flow control is configured to notify
            the link partner that flow control is desired.
      Impact:
            None.


   2. Problem:
            CQ10280 5700 b2 and b3  fails to pass traffic.

            CQ10275 Large Send Offload and IPMI does not co-function on 5721.
      Cause:
            LSO is turned off when ASF is enabled. This was necessary for the 5705
            device which implemented LSO in f/w.
      Change:
            Since LSO is done in h/w, it is not necessary to disable LSO 
            when ASF is running on 575x and 572x devices.
      Impact:
            None.

   4. Problem:

      Impact:

   2. Change Request:
            Merge the winXP and win2k inf.
      Cause:
            Requested by MSFT for logo certification.
      Change:
            There is now a single .inf for winXP and win2k. This .inf is called 
            b57win32.inf. This distribution still includes the old .inf, so to
            test, instruct windows to use the win32 inf during driver install.
      Impact:
            None.
   
   3. Problem:
            CQ10151 Server ASRs when running IXIA stress test. The machine appears locked up
            under heavy network load.
      Cause:
            The DPC routine can run for an extended period if the NIC interrupt rate 
            is high.
      Change:
            Cap the amount of time the DPC routine can run. The DPC routine was
            aso rewritten to improve clarity.
      Impact:
            None.

   4. Problem:
            CQ10034 Runt packets transmitted on 5700BX are not padded with zeros.
      Cause:
            Archaic workaround code for the 5700AX parts was incorrectly padding
            transmit packets for 5700BX with garbage.
      Change:
            Removed workaround code since 5700AX parts were never released into
            production.
      Impact:
            None.


Version 7.75 May 26, 2004
---------------------------------

   1. Problem:
            CQ10033   5700 B2 LOM with v1.3 Bootcode does not pass traffic
            when v7.73 driver is used.
      Cause:
            The older 5700 v1.3 Bootcode did not implement shared memory 
            driver-bootcode interface; so the driver would not recognize nor 
            initialize the PHY.
      Change:
            Added a fallback case to driver; so that in case of older bootcodes
            the driver would initialize the PHY for proper operation.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ10033 issue.

   2. Problem:
            CQ9992 5704 nic may draw VAUX during device initialization when

      Change:
            Corrected programming of GPIO2.
      Impact:
            5704 nic will not draw from VAUX during device initialization.

   3. Problem:
            CQ10097 OID_GEN_RCV_NO_BUFFER or OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR
            statistics not incremented when packets are dropped.
      Cause:
            OID_GEN_RCV_NO_BUFFER was getting the count from 
            lower module's no more receive buffer descriptors.
      Change:
            Modified OID_GEN_RCV_NO_BUFFER to get count from 
            lower module's receive overrun counter.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ10097 issue.

   9. Problem:
          CQ9960  System will not go to standby properly when a 5705 is 
          linked at 10mb.
      Cause:
          When the 5705 is linked at 10mb, the core clock speed is slowed
          to reduce power consumption. When the device driver programs
          the 5705 for Wake On Lan, the 5705 is not programmed properly
          due to the reduced clock speed.
      Change:
          Changed the Wake On Lan configuration code to ensure that the
          core clock speed is set to normal before configuring the part
          for Wake On Lan.
      Impact:
          Fix CQ9960 issue.

   10. Problem:
            CQ10106  System running NT4 may report IERR when saving a speadsheet
            from a Win95/Win98 Client.
      Cause:
            The operating system was presenting zero length buffers to the
            ndis driver for transmission.
      Change:
            Added scan for zero length buffers and coalesce transmit buffers
            that contain zero length buffers.

   11. Change Request:
            CQ8102  Log message to event log when Ethernet@Wirespeed is
            in use.
      Cause:
            New request from OEM.
      Change:
            Added check for Ethernet@Wirespeed status to event logger routine.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ8102 new support request.



Version 7.74 May 20, 2004
---------------------------------

   1. Problem:
            CQ9812   Fiber NIC 5701 has intermittent connectivity at startup.
      Cause:
            Unsuccessful negotiation at startup with fiber switch.
      Change:
            Increased loop attempts to negotiate with fiber switch from two to
            four times and also added initialize of negotiation state machine
            prior to actual negotiation attempt.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9812 issue.

---------------------------------
   1. Problem:
            CQ9997 ASF 2.0 enabled will not allow system to wake from standby.
      Cause:
            The driver to ASF handshaking does not work as expected when the device
            power state is changed. Specifically, the "last driver state" is not set
            to WoL when it should be. Also, in 7.72, it is possible for the firmware 
            to use the WoL pattern table before it is completely setup by the driver.
      Change:
            Fixed the handshaking.
      Impact:



Version 7.72 April 28, 2004
---------------------------------

   1. Problem:
            CQ9989 5751 LOM link is disconnected when changed speed.
      Cause:
            The driver change to correct CQ9124 and CQ9033 Flow Control 
            problem did not consider forced speed settings and caused the
            link to disconnect.  Backed out the change for CQ9124 and CQ9033
            until full regression testing has been done. Issues CQ9124 and CQ9033
            will be resolved on a later driver release.
      Change:
            Commented the change for fix of CQ9124 and CQ9033 issues.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9989 issue.



Version 7.71 April 23, 2004
---------------------------------

   1. Problem:

            Modified installation inf files to comply with new OEM request.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9931 issue.

   4. Problem:
            CQ9936  OEM Friendly name is no longer displayed on the Event Viewer Logs.
      Cause:
            The requested friendly name string was too long and it caused Windows to use
            it's own internal name for event logs of 57xx device.
      Change:
            Reduced the OEM friendly name by removing  Controller.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9936 issue.

   5. Problem:

            CQ9124 Flow control is not working with 5750 A0 on NT4
            CQ9033   Flow control negotiation fails
      Cause:
            On initial driver load, the flow control capability was not advertised
            to switch link partner.
      Change:
            Added a PHY control write to during device initialization; to advertise
            flow control capability
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9124 and CQ9033 issues.

   Enhancements:
   =============
   1. Request: 
            CQ9835 Change behavior of CLKRUN# for 5705 so CLKRUN# is asserted when link
            is present and deasserted when link is not present.

Version 7.69 April 14, 2004
---------------------------------

   1. Problem:
            CQ9613 Set power mode failed in TestApp.exe (Broadcom's internal test
            program needed to test Reverse Nway and Power Save Mode operations).
      Cause:
           A spin lock acquired by the driver when configuring the hardware for 
           power saving mode may not be released, causing the OS to lock up. This 
           lock up only occurred when the driver was configured for power saving mode
           and the EEPROM "Power Save Mode" option (secfg option 38) was disabled. 
      Change:
            The driver was modified to release the spin lock for all code paths in
            the T3_OID_SET_POWER_MODE OID handler.
            This same problem was also detected in the T3_OID_PHY_ON OID handler,
            and so the problem was fixed here also.

---------------------------------

   1. Problem:
            CQ9548 WinXP 5701A3 fails PCI Compliance test in HCT 12.0 Beta 2 Test Kit
      Cause:  
            The driver would always assume that OOB WOL was enabled and therefore would
            always set the PME# bit in pci config space.
      Change:
            Changed driver to read OOB WOL configuration directly from eeprom.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9548 issue.

            Fix CQ9627 issue.

   4. Problem:
            CQ9666 Release notes states we support Win95/OSR2
      Cause:  
            Original Release notes.
      Change:
            Updated this Release.txt file.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9666 issue.

   Enhancements:

   1. Problem:
            CQ9148 No link LED at Gig on 5751 LOM.
            CQ9481 5751: Share traffic/link LED not working correctly in XP.
            CQ9549 5751-A1: Driver overwrites LED settings from NVRAM.
      Cause:  
            The Windows driver was not keeping Firmware initialized LED settings.
      Change:
            Modified driver to honor the Firmware set LED controls.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9148, CQ9481, and CQ9549 issues.

   2. Problem:
            CQ9435 Jumbo frames was not functioning in drivers v7.57 to v7.60
      Cause:  
            The driver was not keeping Advanced Option Jumbo Frame size as user specified.
      Change:
            Modified driver to honor the user input for Jumbo Frames.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9435 issue.

   3. Problem:
            CQ9551 5751-A1:  Using "->CfgWr0" cycles rather then "->MWr32" for setting "D3 Hot" 
      Cause:  
            Driver performed Configuration Writes for all 57xx devices for this control operation.
      Change:
            Modified driver to use Memory Writes for 575x devices and Configuration Writes for all other devices.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9551 issue.

   4. Problem:
            CQ9603 WinXP .inf missing line for OEM customer. 
      Cause:  
            Incomplete driver installation inf file.
      Change:
            Corrected driver install inf file.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9603 issue.

   5. Problem:
            CQ9129 Adapter stops transmitting packets on ia64 and amd64 systems with more
            than 4gb of memory.
      Cause:  
            On 64-bit operating systems it is possible to get transmit buffers from
            the upper layers that span a 4gb boundary. The 57xx family of adapters are
            not able to dma buffers that span a 4gb boundary and therefore the read
            dma engine will hang.
      Change:
            Added code to double buffer transmit buffers that span a 4gb boundary
            for all 57xx adapters.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9129 issue.



Version 7.64 Mar 5, 2004
-----------------------------
 
   1. Problem:
            CQ9571 Version 7.63 binaries contains incorrect file version information.
      Cause:  
            The 7.63 binaries were built incorrectly.
      Change:
            Recompiled with correct file version information.
      Impact:
            None.

   2. Problem:
            The ASF firmware is not able to access nic memory when WOL is enabled on
    575X adapters.
      Cause:  
            The driver did not properly configure the Mac Control Mode register when
            WOL is enabled on a 575X.
      Change:
            Corrected WOL code to properly configure Mac Control Mode register on
            575X.
      Impact:
            None.

   3. Problem:
            CQ9505 Add option in advance options to allow disable of warning and informational logs
            for a specific OEM customer's 4 part PCI ID set.
      Cause:  
            Original driver implementation.
      Change:
            Add new inf entry for OEM 4 part PCI ID and also modify driver to look for and
            handle new Warning/Information Advanced Options.
      Impact:
            Fix CQ9505




Version 7.63 Mar 1, 2004
-----------------------------
 
   1. Problem:
            Performance is not optimized for TCP/IP traffic. 
      Cause:  
            TCP/IP data throughput is decreased by 5% when receive frame TCP payload
            is not aligned on a 64-byte cache line boundary. This occurs on both x86
            and AMD platforms.            
      Change:
           Changed the internal offset in receive buffers to align the TCP payload on
           a 64-byte boundary. Except for 5701/PCI-X and 5700/PCI-X, the default internal
           receive buffer offset for all NIC's is now 10-bytes. Assuming 54-bytes are used for
           the MAC, IP and TCP headers, a 10-byte offset will put the TCP payload
           on a 64-byte boundary. The internal receive buffer offset for 5701/PCI-X and 5700/PCI-X
           NIC's will always be forced to 0 and cannot be overridden.

      Impact:
          Improved receive performance with TCP/IP frames. 
  


Version 7.62 Feb 25, 2004
-----------------------------

   1. Problem:
 
Missing support for Shasta A1 various device PCI IDs.

      Cause:  
         
Missing support for Shasta A1 various device PCI IDs.

      Change:

    Changed driver installation inf file to support added IDs.

      Impact:

None.


Version 7.61 Feb 25, 2004
-----------------------------

   1. Problem:
 
        Missing support for Shasta A1.

      Cause:  
         
      Change:

        Disabled all A0 specific workarounds on A1 chips.

        Changed driver for 5751 A1 by disabling PCIE reset during GRC reset.

        Changed driver for 5751 A1 by enabing PCIE data fifo bug fix in the chip.

      Impact:

        None.

Version 7.60 Feb 18, 2004
-----------------------------
   1. Problem: 
    CQ9390, Remove HP mobile PCI entries from Broadcom standard .inf files.
      Cause:  
         Installation inf file needed update.
      Change:
         Update installation inf file.
      Impact:
            None.

   2. Problem: 
    CQ9420, Friendly name displays "%BCM5750A1% instead of 
                      "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Eithernet"
      Cause:  
         Installation inf file needed update.
      Change:
         Update installation inf file.
      Impact:
            None.


Version 7.59 Feb 12, 2004
-----------------------------
   1. Problem: 
            CQ9262, Database file transfer come to a stop, ARP show 0's MAC address.
      Cause:  
            There was a corner case in the descriptor count check in SendPacketsMP().

            This corner case in the NIC driver can occur only if the packet data received 
            from the upper layer is extremely fragmented. For example, one packet, which 
            triggered this corner case contained 563 bytes, but was fragmented across 511 
            4K pages, each containing one or two bytes. One of our OEM Java database 
            applications generated this type of packet. When the driver fails in this mode, 
            the NIC can still receive but will not transmit. The NIC will also increment the 
            NoSendBdLeft statistic counter for each packet transition attempt. Usually, 
            the NIC driver cannot be disabled and the Windows desktop freezes.

Version 7.58 Feb 11, 2004
-----------------------------
   Fixes:
   =======
   1. Problem: 
            Driver may not initialize properly when PXE is enabled.
      Cause:  
            If PXE is not shutdown properly, the hardware will be left
            in a state that is not compatible with the driver's initialization
            routine.
      Change:
            Added code the check to see if the hardware has been left in a
            active state during the driver's load routine and reset the adapter
            if needed.
      Impact:
            None.

   2. Problem: 
            CQ9129, 5700/5704 may hang on systems with more than 4gb of ram.
      Cause:  
            There were several corner cases in the 4gb workaround code related to
            extremely small or extremely large transmit buffers.
      Change:
            Removed corner cases.
      Impact:
            None.

   3. Problem: 
            CQ9262, Database file transfer come to a stop, ARP show 0's MAC address.
      Cause:  
            There was a corner case in the descriptor count check in SendPacketsMP().

            This corner case in the NIC driver can occur only if the packet data received 
            from the upper layer is extremely fragmented. For example, one packet, which 
            triggered this corner case contained 563 bytes, but was fragmented across 511 
            4K pages, each containing one or two bytes. One of our OEM Java database 
            applications generated this type of packet. When the driver fails in this mode, 
            the NIC can still receive but will not transmit. The NIC will also increment the 
            NoSendBdLeft statistic counter for each packet transition attempt. Usually, 
            the NIC driver cannot be disabled and the Windows desktop freezes.

      Change:
            Implemented a buffer prescan to insure that packet buffers are mapped before
            attempting to process a packet. If any buffers are not mapped, fail the request
            gracefully.
      Impact:
            Oem specific builds of the Ndis 5.0 driver will not load on Windows98.

   3. Problem: 
            The nic will drop frames if the ethernet length field is inconsistent.
      Cause:  
    The nic was programmed to drop frames containing a inconsistent ethernet
            length field.
      Change:

             CQ 8497, 3 of 24 NIC reported a high Transmit Queue Length 
             in 72 hours stress test.
      Cause:  
            The OID handler is using an incorrect structure (big endian) 
            which causes the wrong dword to be incremented to reflect the 
            Q len.
      Change:
            Switched to the correct stucture
      Impact:
             None.

   2. Problem:
             Fix CQ8545, OEM certification test fails with 7.15 driver but 
             passes with 6.67
      Cause: 
             Incorrect chip rev. identification in MM_GetConfig() prevented
             TxCoalesce buffers from being allocated for some 5704s
      Change:
             Fixed MM_GetConfig()
      Impact:
             None

   3. Problem:
             CQ7502, LargeSend Offload (LSO) capabilities differ in 5705

   1. Problem:
             The network icon may intermittently disappear when changing driver
             properties when PowerMon is loaded and QOS is enabled.
      Cause:  
             The driver was incorrectly restarting phy auto-negotiation excessively
             causing the driver to take too long to report link up to the operating
             system.
      Change:
             Added code to only restart phy auto-negotiation when there is a change
             in the state of ReverseNway.
      Impact:
             None.

   Enhancements:
   =============
   1. Request:
             Add "volatile" modifier to SendPass and DpcPass driver variables to
             prevent the compiler from optimizing references in ia64 and amd64

             to configure the nic with multiple mac addresses.
      Impact:
             None. 


Version 7.13 Aug 25, 2003
-------------------------
   Fixes:
   =======
   1. Problem:
             The crc error counter for 5700 and 5701 was not getting zeroed
             out when T3_OID_RESET_STATS_COUNTERS is called.
      Cause:  
             The crc error counter for 5700 and 5701 was not getting zeroed out
             when the OID call is made.
      Change:
             Added code to zero out the crc error counter for 5700 and 5701 when
             T3_OID_RESET_STATS_COUNTERS is called.
      Impact:
             None.

   2. Problem:
             The retail WinXp32, WinXp64, AMD64 drivers were being compiled with
             incorrect compiler flags.
      Cause:
             The build environment was not configured correctly.
      Change:
             Corrected the retail build environment of the affected operating
             systems to use the correct compiler flags.
      Impact:
             Executables will be slightly smaller.


Version 7.12 Aug 20, 2003
-------------------------
   Fixes:
   =======
   1. Problem:
             Driver Verifier complains about a possible deadlock problem.
      Cause:  
             The driver was holding a spinlock during Ndis calls in the send
             path.
      Change:
             Removed spinlocks during Ndis calls in the send path.
      Impact:
             None.

   2. Problem:
            System fault under heavy network load (verifier C4_31)

            The driver may incorrectly use spin locks at ISR level
      Change:
            Remove all calls to acquire spin locks from the ISR.

   3. Problem:
            Improper use of spin lock in shutdown handler
      Cause:  
            The driver is using a spin lock in the shutdown handler
      Change:
            Remove calls to acquire spin locks from shutdown handler

Version 7.11 Aug 15, 2003
-------------------------
   Fixes:
   =======
   1. Problem:
             The OID_GEN_RCV_OK statistic incorrectly included receive
             overrun frames.
      Cause:  
             The driver needs to subtract the number of receive overrun
             frames from the values reported by hardware.
      Change:
             The driver subtracts the number of receive overrun frames from
             the value reported by hardware before reporting the statistic
             to Windows.
      Impact:
             None.

   Enhancements:
   =============

-------------------------

   1. Problem:
             Incorrect operation after PHY loopback test. Reported against 
             Linux configuration. 
      Cause:  
             PHY register 0x18 is not programmed properly after running the external
             loopback test.
      Change:
             Changed the value written to PHY register 0x18 from 0x480 to
             the correct value 0x400 (after external loopback test).                                             
      Impact:
             None.

   2. Problem:
              Flow control does not function (CQ8181).
      Cause:  
              LM_SetupCopperPhy() does not always program the flow control
              when the link comes up.
      Change:
              Program the flow control in all code paths when the link comes up.
      Impact:

   Fixes:
   =======
   1. Problem:
              AMD Solo System intermittently blue screens when installing driver for 5704
              CQ8190.

      Cause:  
              The driver is executing pageable code at high IRQ level (UM_Initialize()).  

      Change:
              Isolated the code executing at high IRQ level to a non pageable routine.

      Impact:
              None.


Version 6.69 July 9, 2003
-------------------------
   Fixes:
   =======
   1. Problem:
              In Windows Win98SE: System cannot go into sleep mode when "wake up frame" is set

      Cause:  
              Win98SE expects WakeOnLan capability of  MagicPacket  as well  as  WakeUpFrame
              during its query of  OID_PNP_CAPABILITIES; even if device Advanced Properties is set to
              WakeUpFrame only.  

      Change:
              Added setting of MagicPacket support during handling of OID_PNP_CAPABILITIES.

      Impact:
              This change does not affect actual WOL function as specified in the Advanced Properties
              of the device, and only allows Win98SE systems to go to Standby mode.

   2. Problem:
              5700BX will stop processing packets under heavy loads.

      Cause:  
              A CoalesceNow workaround for stale status block information on the 5705 was
              causing the 5700BX to hang.

      Change:
              Qualified the CoalesceNow workaround to be applied to only the 5705.

      Impact:
              None.


Version 6.68 June 19, 2003
-------------------------
   Fixes:
   =======
   1. Problem:
              The adapter doesn't drop link when WOL is disabled and the driver
              is disabled.
              If WOL is enabled and the adapter is linked at 1gb when the driver
              is put into low power state, the adapter does not re-acquire link
              at 1gb when the driver resumes.

      Cause:  
              A typo in v6.65 of the driver was causing the driver to assume that
              ASF is always enabled.
              A change in v6.65 of the driver was causing the driver to not restart
              link autonegociation on resume.

      Change:
              Corrected typo causing the driver to assume that ASF is always enabled.
              Changed the restart autonegociation routine to take into account the
              changes made in v6.65

      Impact:
              These changes affect all adapters in all versions of Windows.


Version 6.67 June 13, 2003
-------------------------

   Enhancements:
   =============
   1. Request: 
               Increment version number for revision control purposes.

      Change:
               Changed version number from 6.66 to 6.67

      Impact:
               None.


Version 6.66 June 02, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
              CQ7927: System locks up when driver is unloaded on 5700/5701 with ASF.

      Cause:  
              A workaround that is not applicable to the 5700 and 5701 related to
              nvram accesses was being executed which caused an access to a invalid
              register.

      Change:
              Qualified the asf and nvram access workaround to be executed on only
              non 5700 and 5701 parts.

      Impact:
              This change only affects 5700 and 5701.



Version 6.65 May 31, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
              CQ7874,7873: Cannot get link after disabling power saving mode
              with ReverseNway. Cannot get link after changing from 100mb switch
              to 10mb hub.

      Cause:  
              There was a corner case in the ReverseNway logic that was causing
              the phy not advertise correct capabilities when ReverseNway is
              disabled while the control suite has the driver suspended.
              There was a corner case in the ReverseNway logic that was causing
              the to not be reset properly when the phy lockup errata was executed.

      Change:
              Corrected corner cases so the phy advertises correct capabilities to
              it's link partner.

      Impact:
              These changes only affect those platforms that have ReverseNway enabled.

   2. Problem:
              CQ7914: 5700BX fails to pass traffic while running 2c_Simultaneous
              WHQL tests.

      Cause:  
              A change in the 6.60 driver to address an errata on the 5704 inadvertently
              broke an existing fix for the 5700_BX small fragment errata. The bug was
              causing the driver to run out of coalesce buffers when run on 5700_BX
              devices.

      Change:
              Corrected code so the driver will properly handle small fragment coalesce
              buffers on 5700_BX devices.

      Impact:
              This change only affects 5700_BX devices. Other devices will not see any
              change in behavior.


Version 6.64 May 20, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
              CQ785207: Device is Yellow Banged out after disable/enable of the
              driver.

      Cause:  
              There was a race condition in the halt cpu routine in which the
              halted cpu could still be holding the NVRAM arbitration bit.
              This was preventing the driver from reading the configuration
              information from the NVRAM and caused the driver to unload.

      Change:
              Added check in the halt cpu routine to see if the halted cpu is
              holding the NVRAM arbitration bit.

      Impact:
              None


Version 6.63 May 20, 2003
-------------------------

   1. Enhancements:

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
              CQ7807: Loopback- - Mac test fails

      Cause:  
              The driver was not correctly configuring the 5705 for mac loopback
              if the device was linked at 10mb.

      Change:
              Changed code to correctly configure the device when linked at 10mb.

      Impact:
              None

   2. Problem:
              CQ7827: System will freeze on shutdown when linked at 10mb half.

      Cause:  
              The phy was getting powered down during reset.

      Change:
              Changed code to not power down the phy during reset.

      Impact:
              None

Version 6.62 May 15, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
              CQ7656: Driver get yellow bang on 5788.

      Cause:  
              A check for the device/bond id was detecting the 5788 as an
              unsupported device and therefore was causing the driver to unload.

      Change:
              Removed the check that was causing the driver to unload.

      Impact:
              None

   2. Problem:
              CQ7798, CQ7799: ChkInf found errors in the inf files.

      Cause:  
              Typos in the inf files.

      Change:
              Corrected the inf files.

      Impact:
              None

   3. Problem:
              The workaround for the phy lockup errata was not being applied to all
              versions of the 5703 and 5704.
      Cause:  
              There was a check for previous revisions of 5703 and 5704 that was
              incorrectly carried over from a previous errata.

      Change:
              Removed check for specific versions of the 5703 and 5704 for the phy
              lockup errata.

      Impact:
              None


   1. Enhancements:
              CQ7795, CQ7800: 1000 Full Duplex option in adapter advanced properties
              for all inf files.

      Change:
              This option is suppose to be present in only inf files for specific
              OEMs. Removed 1000 Full Duplex option from files that are not applicable.

      Impact:
              None


Version 6.61 May 14, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
         CQ7777: Some of the OID tests are failing in win98me

      Cause:  
              Added parameter checks in the OID processing are not
              valid in all cases. These were added in rev 6.54

      Change:
              Removed the checks, they do not work for all cases as implemented.

      Impact:
              None

   2. Problem:
         The driver did not restart autoneg on Fast Ethernet only parts when resuming
         from hibernate or standby.

      Cause:  
              This was originally intended behavior. However the driver needs to
              restart autoneg on resume due to phy lockup errata.

      Change:
              During resume check for Fast Ethernet only capable parts and 
              restart phy auto negotiation.

      Impact:
              None

   1. Enhancements:
              The following OEM device ID's are not in the inf files.
                PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_16c7&SUBSYS_00ca0e11
                PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_16c7&SUBSYS_00cb0e11

      Change:
              Added OEM device ID's

      Impact:
              None

Version 6.60 May 12, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
               Fixed problem with link getting dropped when shutting down Windows
               when using a 5703/2 with old versions of bootcode when OOB WOL is
               enabled.
      Cause:  
               The bootcode was not properly passing configuration information to
               the ndis driver.
      Change:
               Modified the ndis driver to read the configuration information directly
               from NVRAM.
      Impact:
               None

   2. Problem:
               System bluescreens with random bugcheck values on .Net with 5704.
      Cause:  
               A bug in the 4gb errata workaround with LSO enabled was causing buffer
               overruns which would corrupt system memory and cause random bugcheck values.
      Change:
               Allocated static double copy buffers for use with LSO and 4gb aligned
               buffers.
      Impact:
               None


Version 6.59 May 5, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
               CQ7664: New HP device IDs need to be added.
      Cause:  
               N/A
      Change:
               Added HP device IDs to NIC .inf
      Impact:
               None

   2. Problem:
               CQ7521: Mac loopback test is broken with fiber devices
      Cause:  
               UM_AutogRetryTimerFunction() calls LM_SetupPhy() during test
      Change:
               Added LM_REQUESTED_MEDIA_TYPE_LOOPBACK condition to call to 
               LM_SetupPhy()
      Impact:
               None

   3. Problem:
               The driver will intermittently load with a zero mac address.
      Cause:  
               The shared memory area that contains the mac address was not properly
               initialized when the nic is in certain low power modes.
      Change:
               Read the mac address from the NVRAM and not shared memory.
      Impact:
               None

Version 6.58 May 1, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   =======

   1. Problem:
               Laurel PING -t gets 20-30% 'request timed out' on both ports (CQ7586)

      Cause:  
               Fiber phy setup is being performed every half second because we are using
               the autoneg bit as a condition. This bit is not set when the fiber switch 
               is not doing autoneg.
      Change:
               Only look at the autoneg bit when autoneg was successfully completed.
      Impact:
               None

   2. Problem:
               Hardy having link status inconsistency (CQ7550)

      Cause:  
               Fiber Phy was not programmed properly.
      Change:
               Changed the NDIS code to behave like the Linux code.
      Impact:
               None



Version 6.57 April 29, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   ========
   1. Problem: 
               When the phy is poweredd down via BMAPI the network icon in the system
               tray does not always show link down.
      Cause:
               Race condition between the trying to indicate link down to the operating
               system and the phy reset routine trying to indicate link up to the operating
               system
      Change:
               Corrected logic error to remove race condition.
      Impact:
               None.
               
   2. Problem: 
               The OID OID_GEN_TRANSMIT_QUEUE_LENGTH does not support 64bit queries.
      Cause:
               The code did not support 64bit queries.
      Change:
               Corrected code to support 64bit queries.
      Impact:
               None.

   3. Problem: 
               Updated phy workarounds for potential intermittent link problems for 5704/5705.
      Cause:
               Not applicable.
      Change:
               Not applicable.
      Impact:
               None.


Version 6.56 April 18, 2003
-------------------------
 
   Fixes:
   ========
   1. Problem: 
               The phy workaround implemented in 6.55 was not properly qualified to
               be applied to only 5704.   
      Cause:
               An 'if' statement was missing when the code was checked in.
      Change:
               Added 'if' statement in routine with 5704 phy workaround to properly
               qualify the workaround.
      Impact:
               None.

Version 6.55 April 17, 2003
-------------------------

   Fixes:
   ========
   1. Problem: CQ #7454, CQ #7559, CQ #7352, CQ #7453, CQ #7500, CQ7469
               Incorrect and intermittent WakeOnLan behavior on 5788. System waking up when
               not configured to wake and system not waking up when configured to wake.
      Cause:
               Ndis driver was not allowing enough time for the bootcode to complete
               execution of it's second phase of boot before communicating WakeOnLan
               configuration information to the bootcode.
      Change:
               Extended max delay for the driver to wait for bootcode to complete execution
               by 60ms.
      Impact:
               Driver unloads will take 60ms longer to execute.
               
   2. Problem: 
               Ndis Driver takes too long to initialize
      Cause:
               The ndis driver had a lengthy delay routine are part of phy initialization
      Change:
               The wait loop was qualified so it only applies to 5700 and 5701. Those parts
               were observed to require this delay.
      Impact:
               Ndis driver initialization should be faster by more than 20ms.

   3. Problem: 
               5704 intermittently will not auto-neg link at 1gb.
      Cause:
               The phy has a errata that requires the driver to check if the dfe is
               locked up.
      Change:
               Added dfe lockup check routine as part of the phy reset routine.
      Impact:
               Slightly higher cpu utilization when the cable is first disconnected.

   Enhancements:
   =============
   1. Request: 
               Added support for dynamic 10/100 or 10/100/1000 phy auto-neg advertising
               for certain platforms.

      Change:
               Added a check for the state of GPIO2 during link change events and adjust
               auto-neg capability advertising accordingly.

      Impact:
               None.

Version     Release Date

6.53        03/26/03
        a.  Implemented workaround for CQ7242: Unable to wake system from shutdown
            after running hibernate under Windows 2003.
        b.  Always enable OOB WakeOnLan for legacy 5701 bootcode.

6.52        03/14/03
        a.  Added support for 5788.
        b.  Fixed problem with link down being reported if link was acquired during
            driver initialization.

6.51        03/13/03
        a.  Extended wait for link up during resume from Standby/Hibernation to
            fix packet drop issue in WHQL Standby/Hibernate testing.

6.50        03/10/03
        a.  Added 5704S support back in.

6.36
            03/05/03
        a.  Fixed intermittent blue screen if there is a link status change during
            driver unload.

6.35        03/04/03

            device is sharing an interrupt.
        b.  Added support for OID_GEN_TRANSMIT_QUEUE_LENGTH
        c.  Corrected support for legacy bootcode that doesn't support eeprom
            version information. This problem was causing WakeOnLan configuration
            problems.
        d.  Fixed problem where serdes adapters were being treated as copper.
        e.  Fixed WHQL failure due to not waiting for link long enough on
            5702/3-A3 parts.
        f.  Fixed ASF hanging when system is going to standby/hibernate.

6.34        02/17/03
        a.  Added code to wait for the 2nd phase of bootcode to complete on
            5702/3/4/5. This resolves a WoL related issue with older
            v2.21a 5703 bootcode, and is generally "safer".  This also
            resolves an unwanted case where WoL was accidentally enabled.
        b.  Removed code to stop the TX and RX processor clocks on 5704
            when going into standby/hibernate or shutdown.  This resolved a
            hang when coming out of S1 with a 5704.
        c.  Minor change to interrupt coalescing algorithm.

6.33        02/14/03

            having the system stay at 10mb when the system is resumed.
        e.  Incorporated improved power management for 5704 when the
            system is being shutdown or put into standby.

6.32        02/12/03
        a.  Updated driver send packets for resolve of Appletalk issue.
        b.  Updated driver for 5704 Fiber Auto Negotiation.
        c.  Added ODI_GEN_PROTOCOL_OPTIONS back into NdisQueryInformation
            because the WHQL tester expects it.
        d.  Fixed problem with NdisQueryInformation returning failure status
            when it's not appropriate.
        e.  Corrected removing 5782 Ethernet@WireSpeed option for WinXp.
        f.  Changed driver to runt tx frames with zero instead of garbage.

6.31        02/10/03
        a.  Removed OID_GEN_PROTOCOL_OPTIONS from NdisQueryInformation
        b.  Removed Ethernet@WireSpeed option from 5705A2/A3 and 5782.
        c.  Added check for null pointers in NdisQueryInformation to prevent
            system blue screens.
        d.  Fixed CQ#5069: Added HotPlug PCI port number assignment.


6.30        02/07/03

        a.  Enabled 5704 Fiber Support for resolve of bugs:  
             CQ#6288: BCM5704SA40 Fails to Negotiate with HP Procurve 2524 Switch.
             CQ#6725: Port 1 on 5704s Fiber does not pass traffic.
             CQ#6746: Fiber fails to link w/ 5.27 NDIS driver.

        "LinkChngMode"
            0   Auto select the mechanism for determining link change status.
            1   Look at the MAC status register to get link change status.
            2   Look at the status block for link change status.  (5701 only).

    during initialization.  On a Windows 9x system, this will cause an
    undesirable error message box to popup after the system boots up.  This
    version of the driver will not log "Driver initialized successfully"
    message and link information during initialization.

1.18        12/01/00

    Removed TxMtu configurable parameter.  Now the user only has to configure
    RxMtu to enable jumbo frame support.

    5401 B0 silicon was not being resetted when the 1gb link went down.  The
    reset is required as software workaround for the 5401 errata.

    Driver will now restore a couple of PCI configuration registers after
    a reset.


1.17        11/29/00

    Added the ability to configure jumbo frame parameter in the b57w2k.inf.

    Fixed driver reporting wrong link status after reboot when forcing
    link speed on both sides.

    Fixed failure in MAC loopback test.


1.16        11/28/00

    Updated the 5401 tap power-management script.

    Removed the busy polling for link when unplugging the cable.  The polling
    period was too long and it was causing BASP to drop some Chariot
    connections.

    Removed support for A0, A1 silicon to reduce code size.


1.15        11/26/00

    Fixed intermitten system lock-up on shutdown when WOL is enabled.

    Multicast table was never cleared which was causing the intermitten
    failure in 2c_rmult.

    5401 reset on link down should occur only when the current speed is 1gb.

    Reduced driver load/unload time which will eliminate the 1c_gtime warnings.
    However, these warnings may still occur when WOL is enabled.  This is due
    to the driver waiting for auto-negotiation to complete before completing
    initialization.


1.14        11/22/00

    Added a software workaround for the 5401 to prevent it from locking up
    when the cable is unplugged during transmission.

    All the LEDs now indicate their corresponding link speed.

    
1.13        11/21/00

    Fixed problem with TCP connections dropping when running Chariot in
    10/100mb mode.

    Fixed problem with the adapter being disabled after exiting from the
    standby mode in Windows 2000.

    Fixed problem with the adapter not entering into wake-up mode when
    "shutdown".

    Ignore TX checksum parameter for B0 silicon.


1.12        11/18/00

    Added WOL support for Windows 2000.

    Fixed intermitten lock-up in 10mb mode.  Shadowed several MAC registers.

    Fixed PHY register read problem.  Occasionally PHY register read returned
    an incorrect value.

    Default TaskOffload and FlowControl parameter to off.


0.9         11/10/00

    Added MagicPacket support.

    In v0.8, whenever the driver detects a link mismatch, it will recover
    by switching to auto-negotiation mode.  This version does not have this
    recovery mechanism.

    Write the link settings to the EventLog after the driver has initialized.

    Fixed 1c_gtime failure when forcing line speed.


0.8         11/03/00

    NdisPacket allocated by the driver did not have the protocol reserved
    area which could cause system crash.

    Added a better handshaking mechanism with the firmware.

    Fixed the 2m_addres test.

    Added Compaq Hot Plug PCI support in oemsetup.inf.

    The MAC was not properly setup to operate in half duplex mode.

    Modified the driver to receive maximum sized VLAN packet without using
    the Jumbo receive ring.


0.7         10/30/00

    Fixed problems with forcing line speed.  

    Added checksum offloading capability.

    Fixed several issues with the Ndis test.  The following test should
    pass now:  1c_ofldn, 2m_load, 2m_misc, 2m_addre.

    Added support for IBM hot plug.


0.6         10/22/00

    Fixed lock-up that occurs when running the Ndis stress test.

    Fixed system crash when stopping the driver on an A1 silicon.

    Minor changes in b57nt4.hlp.

    Fixed problems with PHY loopback.  Added support for MAC loopback.

    Added a vendor specific OID for changing the MAC address.
    
    Tested VLAN tagging and 802.1p priority packet.


0.5         10/17/00

    Added a timer routine to periodically program the hardware to update
    the status block and generate an interrupt.  This is necessary because
    with A0, A1, B0 silicon, under certain condition, the host will miss
    interrupts.

    Disable PCI NWI by default.

    The send producer index is written twice.  This is a bug in the A0, A1, B0
    silicon in which chip will miss the mailbox stimulus.

    Added tx/rx PAUSE frame negotiation with link partner.  Modified b57w2k.inf
    to allow the user to configure rx/tx PAUSE frame independently.

    Fixed VLAN bug.  The driver was retrieving VLAN tag from the wrong offset
    in the miniport reserved area.

    Added jumbo frame support.  The user must manually modify the registry
    parameter to enable this feature.  "RxJumboDescCnt" must be changed
    to some value greater than 20 but less than 256.  This value determine
    the numbe of receive buffers to allocate for jumbo frames.

    Modified oemsetup.inf and b57w2k.inf to default "DisableAutoNeg" to 1,
    which will disable auto-negotiation advertisement when selecting a
    particular line speed.

    Added a help file for b57nt4.sys driver.


0.04        10/02/00
    Added support for link change detection via PHY interrupt as oppose to
    having the MAC poll the PHY.  PHY interrupt processing can be enable
    via "UsePhyInterrupt" registry parameter.  Default is "auto-polling".

    Miscellaneous modifications oemsetup.inf and b57w2k.inf.  Also fixed
    driver update issues with oemsetup.inf.

    Added delay before the driver is unloaded to prevent W2K from detecting
    the card as a different device.

    Fixed the deserialized driver to queue outgoing packets when there is no
    more packet descriptors left.


0.03        09/21/00
    Modified reset and halt routines to handle shutdown more robustly.  Some 
    systems will not recognize the board after a warm boot.  This version
    of the driver should fix this.

    
0.02        09/09/00
    Initial release for the A1 silicon.
