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: A control bit to enable/disable the Hw fix for CQ12429 is unexpectedly cleared by driver. Change: Enable the control bit back for fixing TxMBUF Lockup issue. Impact: None. Version 14.2.0.3 Apr 09, 2010 ---------------------------------------- 1. Problem: The "Last Driver State" (shared memory 0xC04) is incorrect when driver is unloaded with no WOL. 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 Version 14.2.0.2 Apr 02, 2010 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ44978 - Use *ReceiveBuffers registry key for NDIS6.x and NDIS5.x driver. Change: replace the registry keys with MSFT definition keys. Impact: None. 2.

Problem: 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 driver to free a spin lock which is not acquired yet. The deadlock makes system hang. Change: Make code change to prevent driver running into the racing condition. Impact: None. Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ45364 - update INF file to change default for "ReverseLinkNegotiation" = 0 for specific OEM systems. Change: Make inf change as request and also make driver to check the value read back from registry, if they are invalid, driver will use default value for them (same as inf file assigned) Impact: None. 2.

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: None Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: Adding support for 57765/57785 ASIC GPHY ID. Change: GPHY MII reg 0x2 = 0x0362, GPHY MII reg 0x3 = 0x5e40. 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.

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.

Request: 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. Request: Add support B50610m GPHY for BCM5785. Change: Added code to support B50610m GPHY for BCM5785. Version 11.21 Nov 27, 2008 ---------------------------------------- 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: ============= 1. Request: CQ38185,CQ38351,CQ38491,CQ38505 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs 2. Request: Add support for 57780 / 57790 A1 devices. Change: Make driver to keep all SW A0 workarounds for A1. 3. Request: Add GPHY Green Mode support for 57780. Change: Whenever link is at 1G and cable length is less than 10m, driver will enable device GPHY Green Mode for saving power. Version 11.20 Oct 24, 2008 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ38029- Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs Impact: None. 2. Request: Adding support for 57780 / 57790 Change: Modify code to add support for 57780 / 57790. Impact: None. Version 11.19 Oct 15, 2008 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Reguest: Adding support for BCM5785. Change: Added two-part ID into INF file. Impact: None. Version 11.18B Sep 11, 2008 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Request CQ37293 - Ndis 5.x and 6.0 driver should have product version key set to 12.8.0 in 11.7 Change: Change the product version as required. Impact: None 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. Request: CQ36843 - Add registry key to common mini-port driver in order to allow NDIS to discard VLAN tagged packets Changes: Added "DropVlanPkt" registry key to drop vlan packets when vlan is disable. Impact: None. Version 11.17B July 23, 2008 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ36056 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs 2. Request: CQ36166 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs 3. Request: CQ36432 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs 4. Request: CQ36447 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs Version 11.17 June 19, 2008 ---------------------------------------- 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 ERROR_FATAL and stop DMA when it makes Memory Read and receives completion packets larger than 128 bytes. Change: Make driver to keep device MPS setting during initialization. Impact: Resolve CQ34962. Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ34973 - OEM requests to enable log options for sysetms w/ 5784M Change: Make inf changes to enable log options for OEM systems. Impact: Resolve CQ34973. Version 11.14 April 22, 2008 ---------------------------------------- 1. Problem: Ensure private OID buffer is not touched until signature is validated. Cause: Could cause DTM failure if buffer is modified when signature is invalid. Change: Move setting status until after signature is validated. Impact: None Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ34699 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs 2. Request: Enable constant 500Khz MDIO interface speed regardless core clock frequency. Change: Change driver to set the enable bit in MII Mode register. Impact: The change applies to devices 5764M/5784M/5723/5761/5761E. Version 11.13 March 16, 2008 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ34254 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs Version 11.12 March 12, 2008 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: CQ34135 - Add 4 part IDs for specific OEM Change: Added new IDs Version 11.11 February 28, 2008 ---------------------------------------- Enhancements: ============= 1. Request: 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. 2. Request: Remove CQ33808 driver workaround for 5784M/5764M/5723. Change: Remove driver workaround added in previous release. Impact: Bootcode v3.31 & slefboot patch v2.18 have the workaround to fix CQ33808. 3. Request: 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: Remove CQ33752 driver workaround. Change: Remove driver workaround added in v11.8 Version 11.8 February 7, 2008 ---------------------------------------- 1. Problem: CQ33752 - Small fragments of less than 8 bytes cause transmit DMA failure. 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. 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. Version 11.01 October 17, 2007 ---------------------------------------- 1. Enhancement request Merged 5784M code from branch to mainline. Version 11.00 October 9, 2007 ---------------------------------------- 1. Initial release for 5784MDownload Driver Pack
