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.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        Disable Link Speed/Link Aware/Airplane Power Mode while running MAC Loopback Test for 5784M B0.
      Change:
        Make driver to disable Link Speed/Link Aware/Airplane Power Mode while running MAC loopback Test.

  2.  Request:
        Implement CQ31680/CQ32765 ClkREQ workaround for 5784M Ax revision.
      Change:
        Clear bit_16 of register 0x7d00 and clear bit_29 of register 0x68A4.

  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.


Version 11.5  January 11, 2008
----------------------------------------

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        CQ33252 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM
      Change:
        Added new IDs

  2.  Request:
        Change the Copyright information to include 2008 for all SW modules
      Change:
        Change the Copyright information to include 2008 in related files.

  3.  Request:
        Implement driver workaround for 5784M GPHY related issues.
      Change:
        Add code changes for the workaround.

  4.  Request:
        Remove driver support for Windows 2000.
      Change:
        Modify k57win32.inf to remove the ability for installing driver on Windows 2000.


Version 11.4  December 10, 2007
----------------------------------------
  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.

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        Add support for 5784M A2 devices.
      Change:
        Make driver to keep all SW A0/A1 workarounds for A2
        
  2.  Request:
        CQ32683,CQ32780 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM
      Change:
        Added new IDs
        

Version 11.3  November 08, 2007
----------------------------------------

  Enhancements:
  =============
  1.  Request:
        Add support for 5784M A1 devices.
      Change:
        Make driver to keep all SW A0 workarounds for A1

  2.  Request:
        Disable Link Speed Mode and Link Aware Mode while running MAC Loopback Test for 5784M A0 & A1.
      Change:
        Make driver to disable Link Speed and Link Aware mode while running MAC loopback Test.

  3.  Request:
        For CQ31702 - SW needs to Configure LED Mode default to MAC Mode instead of GPHY Mode 
      Change:
        Configure LED Mode default to MAC Mode for 5784M A0 & A1.
        

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:
  =============        
  1.  Request:  
        CQ31815 - Blue screen on boot if no network cable attached.
     
      Change:
        Remove codes that enables GPHY APD (Auto Powerdown) in driver. The GPHY APD is now handled by
        the CPMU when Link Aware is enabled.
       
  2.  Request:
        CQ31619 - 5784M A0 failed DMA Write Engine Lock Up when Link Speed Mode Enabled with 
                  10Mb Traffic and Core clock is 1.5MHz     
      Change:
        Slow down the core clock to 6.25Mhz in 10mb, Link Aware Mode or 10mb Link Speed Mode for 5784M A0.
