v2.0.5 (July 02, 2003)
======================

   Fixes:
   ------
   1. Problem: Driver panics when loading on 2.4.20-18.7 RH kernel.

      Cause: Makefile compiles driver with kgcc, making the driver
             incompatible with the kernel that was compiled with gcc.

      Change: Modified Makefile to choose kgcc only if the kernel
              was compiled with kgcc.

      Impact: None.

   2. Problem: Link error when compiling driver into kernel with
               CONFIG_HOTPLUG not defined.

      Cause: __devexit_p not used in the bcm5700_remove_one pointer.

      Change: Added __devexit_p for the bcm5700_remove_one pointer.

      Impact: None.

v2.0.4 (June 26, 2003)
======================

   Fixes:
   ------
   1. Problem: ifconfig freezes some machines.

      Cause: Chip generates target aborts when MAC registers are
             accessed before chip reset.

      Change: Changed LM_ResetAdapter to eliminate certain register
              accesses before chip reset.

      Impact: None.

v2.0.3 (June 25, 2003)
======================

   Fixes:
   ------
   1. Problem: Loading driver hangs system on a certain machine.

      Cause: Chip generates target aborts when MAC registers are
             accessed before chip reset.

      Change: Removed the call to LM_SetupPhy in LM_GetAdapterInfo.

      Impact: Unable to show PHY advertisement registers in /proc file
              before ifup.

v2.0.2 (April 28, 2003)
=======================

   Fixes:
   ------
   1. Problem: (CQ #7621) "Flow_Control_Advertisement" and
               "Speed_Advertisement" have no initial values in /proc
               file

      Cause: Related varaibles not initialized before ifup.

      Change: Added LM_SetupPhy call in LM_GetAdapterInfo.

      Impact: none.

v2.0.1 (April 23, 2003)
=======================

   Fixes:
   ------
   1. Problem: (CQ #7421) "Part_Number" has no value in /proc file

      Cause: 4401 does not have VPD.

      Change: Removed "Part_Number" entry from /proc file

      Impact: Only /proc file.

   Enhancements:
   -------------
   1. Request: No warning when compiling the driver without kernel
               headers

      Change: Changed Makefile to print a warning when kernel header
              files are not found.

      Impact: None.
