----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        1c_oidswmi test in NDISTest6.0 fails with v14.2.0.4 under XP-x86 and 2k3-x64.
      Cause:
        Test is unable to query the data for GUID added for Broadcom APE WMI Event.
      Change:
        Add flag in NDIS_GUID structure to map a GUID to a customized OID and add the customized OID
        support in MiniportQueryInformation() so that test can query the data successfully.
      Impact:

Version 14.2.0.4  Apr 30, 2010
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        Driver's crash dump function doesn't work with Windows XP SP2.
      Cause:
        Driver uses the function KeTestSpinLock() to determine if it's the OS that driver should support for 
        crash dump function. However, KeTestSpinLock() is available on Windows 2003 or later version, but 
        it's not exported in Windows XP, this makes driver fail to register the BugCheckCallback routine.
      Change:
        Change the method to make crash dump function work for the OS that driver supports.
      Impact:
        None.

  2.  Problem:
        CQ46602 - 57765 traffic broken when running chariot TX at 100M with jumbo enabled
      Cause:

      Change:
        Fix the code error to make driver report correct state when it's unloaded.
      Impact:
        None.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        Add the following changes in driver in order to support customer who uses OTP implementation.
        1) Driver needs to set bit 31 in register PCIE Physical Layer Register 0x1814 to disable clkreq in L2 to 
           workaround a chipset bug.
        2) Driver needs to clear bits [9:7] of PCIE Configuration Space in Function 0 Register 0x6C.  
           This is needed to ensure the SD Host Controller does not lock up.
        3) LAN Driver needs to force the Core Clock to 6.25MHz when the Ethernet Link is in 10Mb mode.  
           This is needed in order to workaround a Hardware synchronization issue in the DMA Read Engine to 
           prevent Fatal Error from stopping the transmitting logic.
      Note: the changes are for 57765/57785 family devices only

  3.  Request:
        CQ46736 - remove fix for CQ39683, CQ40054 from Windows drivers (ndis5, Ndis6)
      Change:
        Make changes as request. These fixes may cause PCIE Serdes corruptions that result in 
        device disappearances when the system resumes from S4 (CQ46606). These fixes are 
        removed from driver and added into OTP selfboot.
      Impact:
        It's for 57780/57760 family devices only.


Version 14.2.0.1  Mar 10, 2010

        CQ45796 - 57781/57765 no link after system resume from S1/S3 mode with SB code.
      Change:
        We have an issue in the SB ROM code which require a 10ms delay after seeing the 
        reset signature (~KevT) in Shared Memory 0xB50 to workaround the issue.
      Impact:
        None.


Version 14.0.0.6  Feb 05, 2010
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ45666 - 57765x-system hanged when run Diagnostic test at 100MF/100MH with ASF enabled
      Cause:
        During MAC loopback test in BACS diagnostic testing, there is a racing condition which causes

----------------------------------------
  1. Problem:
       When upgrading to the EEE enabled driver. Going from version 14.0.0.4 to version 14.0.04A.
       We could see the EEE property, however both the disable and enable values were missing.
       After a system reboot, we could see them.
     Cause:
       OS can't stick on the default value of EEE property right after driver upgrade.
     Change:
       Add a workaround to force OS to stick with EEE default value after driver upgrade.

  2.  Problem:
        Driver failed on DTM 1c_kernelcalls test
      Cause:
        Driver has incorrectly made a call to DbgBreakPoint() with free version driver.

Version 14.0.0.2  Dec 05, 2009
------------------------------
  1. Problem:
       CQ44702 - The link speed is 100M after system entering S1/S3/S4 mode while Power Management is disabled.
     Cause:
       The bootcode set the link speed at 100M when Vmain goes away is due to the wol enable bit is set in 
       the NVRAM. The bootcode will honor the wol enable bit in nvram is due to no wol_signature in shared 
       memory offset 0xd30.
     Change: 
       Make driver to setup wol signature correctly when wol function is enabled.
     Impact:
       None

  2. Problem:
       CQ42316 - During Factory X64 download, Active directory scripts are not downloading.
     Cause:
       The Netlongon service starts before network is ready. The reason why netowrk is not ready is due to 
       an additional GPHY reset added during code merge for 5785, this extra GPHY reset makes device take 
       longer time to link up while driver is loaded. 
     Change: 
       Make the GPHY reset for 5785 only, not for other devices.
     Impact:

      Impact:
        None.


Version 14.0.0.1  Nov 27, 2009
------------------------------
  1. Problem:
       CQ44524 - iSCSI boot might fail or boot very slow in Win2K3 when latest iSCSI ROM is used.
     Cause:
       Newer iSCSI ROM runs in polling mode.  It masks out PCI interrupt
       by setting bit 10 in PCI Command register. In Win2k8 or newer, OS
       clears this bit when it runs in non MSI-X mode. However, Win2K3
       doesn't do this.  This bit is new in PCI v2.3.  
     Change: 
       Clear PCI masking bit if it runs in legacy PCI mode.
     Impact:
       None

  2. Problem:
       CQ44649 - 57765: Ping time out while jumbo frame enable
     Cause:
       The code for setting NIC Ring Address in Jumbo Receive RCB (Ring Control Block)
       is missing during code merging from branch.
     Change: 
       Add the missing code back to set up Jumbo Receive RCB correctly.
     Impact:
       None

  2.  Request:
        Due to a GPHY setting change, driver needs to add a patch for 5785 GPHY devices.
      Change:
        After global reset or GPHY reset, driver will set 50610 (M or non-M) RGMII MODE to 0.
      Impact:
        It's for 5785 with 50610(M or non-M) GPHY revision.


Version 12.4.0.2 Oct 11, 2009
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        57760/57780 fails on FwCfg 1G loopback test.
      Cause:
        The GPHY Green Mode is enabled when device is linked at 1G speed and it causes
        FwCfg unable to receiving packets during loopback test.
      Change:
        Make driver not to enable GPHY Green Mode while making external loopback test.
      Note:
        None
 
   2.  Problem:
        CQ43851- Device disappears after multiple iterations of copy/compare test on specific OEM system.
      Cause:
        Due to design limitations, sometimes L1 exit transition does not cause the serdes pll to resume
        normal operation.  When this happens the LOM will not be able to response to PCIE transaction 
        and may be removed from the PCIE enumeration tree.
      Change:
        Implement the workaround to disable Pll Powerdown in L1 by writting 0x7080 to register offset 
        0x7d54 afer every chip reset. 
      Note:
        It's for 57760/57780 family devices only.

        driver will filter out the packet.
      Impact:
        None.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        CQ42236 workaround - Driver needs to implement the following procedures before any GRC or CPU reset
        1. write 0x7d54 with 0x7080 (to disable l1 pll pwrdwn), then

  1.  Problem:
        CQ42324 - 57780A1:LOM disappear after resuming from S4, only happend withSelfboot/OTP boot 
        and LED mode = shared traffic/link LED mode
      Cause:
        Driver is trying to write Ethernet PHY with incorrect PHY address (should be 1 instead of 0) 
        during initializatin. This causes driver to write to PCI-E Serdes PHY by accident and 
        corrupt PCI-E Serdes PHY content.
      Change:
        Make sure PhyAddr is assigned with valid value before accessing Ethernet PHY.
      Impact:
        None.

----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ39724 - WLK 1.3 NdisTest 6.5 BSOD on WinXP 64-bit Platform.
      Cause:
        Driver doesn't wait/collect for all RX packet desciptors during handling reset routine,

      Impact:
        None


Version 12.0.0.3  Mar 09, 2009
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ39796 - doing boot code program in WinFWUpg will show error message.
      Cause:
        Driver has incorrect configuration values for EEPROM which makes driver treat EEPROM as a flash device.

      Impact:
        None


Version 12.0.0.0  Feb 02, 2009
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ38940 - 5785: BACS LoopBack-MAC and LoopBack-PHY fails in WinXP and Vista at 10H and 100H.
      Cause:
        Device should work at full duplex mode while doing loopback test and driver doesn't configure
        Ethernet MAC mode register correctly.
      Change:
        Make sure Half-duplex bit in EMAC mode register is cleared while doing loopback test.
      Impact:
        None

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

        CQ39188,CQ39189 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM
      Change:
        Added new IDs


Version 11.23 Dec 17, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ36053 - Windiag shows "Device failed to negotiate link after 15sec" during PHY reset test
      Cause:
        Some device may generate "Link Status Change" interrupt immediately after powering down GPHY.
        This causes driver to run LM_SetupPhy() in UM_DPC() for servicing GPHY interrupt, while the
        application may send another T3_OID_PHY_ON to driver for powering on GPHY. This causes two
        driver threads to access GPHY at the same time, and it may cause GPHY content programmed
        with incorrect value.
      Change:
        Disable interrupt before powering down GPHY.
      Impact:
        None

  2.  Problem:
        CQ38997 - 57780 MAC loopback will fail without connection.
      Cause:
        When ethernet cable is dettached & GPHY auto-power-down w/pll power down is enabled, GPHY
        pll would power down to save power (link aware apd mode) and stop providing clock to MAC.
        When mac loopback mode is enabled under this condition mac cannot switch to fast clock to
        complete packet transfers and therefore causes packet to drop.
      Change:
        The workaround is to disable GPHY PLL APD during MAC loopback test.
      Impact:
        None.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        CQ38677,CQ38861,CQ38863 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM
      Change:
        Added new IDs


Version 11.22 Dec 05, 2008
----------------------------------------
  Enhancements:
  =============

----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ38651 - 5784M laptop show a yellow bang in Device Manger
            after 300-400 iteration of S4 tests.
      Change:
        Apply CQ29902 workaround for this issue.
      Impact:
        Fixed a yellow bang issue.

  2.  Problem:
        CQ38740 - 5785 system:  "Driver Load and Unload " failed on WinXP.
      Cause:
        Driver had access to PHY registers right after doing GRC reset without
        waiting for bootcode finishing it's job. Driver may get PHY registers
        corrupted or get incorrect PHY registers value.
      Change:
        Do not get access to PHY registers before bootcode finishes it job.


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

Version 11.18  Sep 03, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ37154 - OEM 5784M platform observes the same S5 WOL issue as CQ35234
      Cause:
        CQ35234 GPHY workaround was applied when system is going into S1/S3/S4, not for S5.
      Change:
        Apply CQ35234 GPHY workaround for S5 as well.
      Impact:
        None.

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

----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ35947 - B5764/B5761/B5784-When setting  WOL speed to 10mb system will be come unresponsive and lose link.
      Cause:
        The CQ35234 workaround is incorrectly executed when driver is loaded with WOL speed setting as 10mb.
        There is no problem when WOL speed is set to Lowest, Auto or 100mb.
      Change:
        Correct driver's abnormal behavior and make driver to apply the CQ35234 workaround precisely.
      Impact:
        None.


Version 11.16  June 9, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ35239 - 5784m stops passing traffic when running copy compare at 10 Mb half duplex and ASPM L1 w/ clkreq.
      Cause:
        The clock glitch that occurring with L0->L1->L0 transitions causes device RDMA doesn't work normally.
      Change:
        Make driver to disable device's clkreq when linked at 10H or 100H as a workaround.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ35239.

  2.  Problem:
        CQ35234 - 5784M/5764M will not assert Wake signal one the first Wake magic packet received.
      Cause:
        When device is connected to particular switch with specific PHY at 1G bps, with wol speed
        set to lowest speed, driver will program GPHY to advertise 10M bps support and restart
        auto-negotiation while system is going from S0 to S3/S4/S5. In the meantime, 100tx or 1000t
        idle sent from the link partner can confuse the local 10M bps polarity state machine, which
        in turn can corrupt the first 10Mbps packet received.
      Change:
        Make driver workaround to reset link porlarity state machine and restart auto negotiation.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ35234.


Version 11.15  May 12, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ34962 - 5784/5764/5761 system compatibility issue on particular OEM system.
      Cause:
        When BIOS sets root-complex's and device's Max Payload Size (MPS) to 256 bytes,
        device's MPS will be incorrectly set to 128 by driver, then device will report

        Enhance the fix for CQ33858.
      Change:
         Change CPMU Clock Policy Registers to increase the Core Clock Speed before issue
         a GRC reset and restore these registers after boot code has completed initialization.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ33858.


Version 11.10  February 24, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ33858 - Device loses connection while doing load/unload test.
      Cause:
        When driver is unloaded, driver does a GRC Reset. When the link doesn't come back
        immediately, CPMU will put MAC core clock into slower speed. This makes boot code
        to be reloaed and executed slower. This also makes driver exceed waiting loop.
        Finally, GPHY register corrupted because of driver and boot-code racing condition.
      Change:
        Extend driver waiting time to make sure boot-code 2nd phase is finished.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        Add driver support back for Windows 2000.
      Change:
        Modify inf files for installing driver on Windows 2000.

        CQ33892 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM
      Change:
        Added new IDs.

  4.  Request:
        CQ25155 - 5784M/5764M/5723/5761/5761E implementation of this CQ is
        done in hardware instead of the software implementation.
      Change:
        Activate hardware fix for this CQ in driver and not with code in
        the receive packet processing logic.
      Impact:
        New devices have hardware support for this fix that must be
        activated in the driver.


Version 11.9  February 11, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
          CQ33808 - BCM5784M: System hangs when user changes Device Property with clkreq enabled.
      Cause:
          Issuing a GRC reset with clkreq enabled is causing a global chip reset and PCI-E
          completion timer timeout.
      Change:
          When ClkReq and L0s/L1 ASPM are enabled, driver will clear ClkReq enable bit before doing
          GRC reset and restore it after GRC reset.
      Impact:
          Resolve C33808.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:

      Cause:
        Under investigation.
      Change:
        Coalesce transmit buffers before submitting to the chip.
      Impact:
        Resolve issue for 5764M/5784M/5723/5761/5761E.


Version 11.7 January 29, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ33564 - BACS MAC loopback test fails when test is running without cable.
      Cause:
        Bootcode version after v3.23 has enabled GPHY DLL Auto Power Down by default.
        When there is no cable, GPHY DLL Auto Power Down starts to work and makes test fail.
      Change:
        Change driver to disable GPHY DLL Auto-Power Down when running MAC loopback test
        and then retore GPHY DLL Auto-Power Down Bit to original value.
      Impact:
        Resolve issue and this is for 5764M/5784M/5723 B0 only.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        Add GPHY APD and GPHY DLL Auto-Power Down for 5764M/5784M/5723 B0.
      Change:
        Driver needs to read the share memory to determine how the GPHY Auto Power Down
        feature is enabled/disabled by the user.

  2.  Request:
        The GPHY workaround needs to be applied with the GPHY DLL Auto-Power Down Bit set.
      Change:
        Set GPHY DLL Auto-Power Down Bit before applying GPHY workaround and then restore
        GPHY DLL Auto-Power Down Bit to original value.
      Impact:
        This is for 5764M/5784M/5723 B0 only.


Version 11.6  January 24, 2008
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ33519 - 5784M fails at external loopback test fail.
      Cause:
        Device doesn't get linked and test application can't receive enough packets during the test.
      Change:
        Disable Link Speed/Link Aware/Airplane Power Mode and avoid setting PHY trim registers
        during external loopback test.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ33519.

  3.  Request:
        GPHY earl-wake-dac mode must be enabled before MAC 10mb rx only mode is enabled.
      Change:
        Whenever driver issues a reset to the GPHY, GPHY early-dac-dac mode will be disabled.
        Driver needs to disable CPMU 10mb rx only mode before resetting GPHY. Then later
        driver can re-enable the 10mb rx only mode. It's for 5764M/5784M/5723 B0 only.

  4.  Request:
        Implement new GPHY Workaround for 5784M/5764M/5723 B0.
      Change:
        Driver reads workaround parameters from OTP Memory and then configures GPHY accordingly.

----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ32573 - Failed to resume normal speedlink after power saving mode.
      Cause:
        Device has a problem with logic that handles the automatic switching of the burst mode
        to non-burst mode when the core clock is switching from 62.5MHz to slow clock modes.
      Change:
        Disable WDMA Rx Accel mode to workaround this issue.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ32573 issue.

Version 11.2  October 24, 2007
----------------------------------------
  1.  Problem:
        CQ31830 - System hangs when put it into S3 and S4 or disable the adapter with WOL disabled.
      Cause:
        When WOL is not needed, driver will power down GPHY for saving power. When GPHY powers down,
        GPHY DLL stops provinding clock to mac core and this causes memory read completion timeout.
      Change:
        Make mac core clock switching before powering down GPHY.
      Impact:
        Resolve CQ31830 issue.

  Enhancements:
