===============================================================
Changes in ver 0.22
Fixed return cable loss bug for BCM5704.
Changes in ver 0.21
Added support for BCM5705
Changes in ver 0.20
Added support for TT mode in BCM5704.
Changes in ver 0.19
Added detailed information to diagnose cable failures
especially with the Ethernet@WireSpeed feature.
Changes in ver 0.18
Added support for BCM5704.
Changes in ver 0.17
Added support for BCM5703/02.
Changes in ver 0.16
Modified BMAPI.DLL version check to work with the latest
version of the BMAPI.
Changes in ver 0.15
-Rebuilt files to use the latest bmapi.h file to fix the
version check issue.
Changes in ver 0.14
-Supports BCM5701 based NIC.
Changes in ver 0.13
-Modified to support bmapi.dll v1.32. Supports BCM5700 only.
Changes in ver 0.12:
-Added support for BCM5701.
Changes in ver 0.11:
-Added interface function to set phy in autoneg/f1000 modes.
This is needed so broken cable distance will work properly
when there is a switch over of a different cable.
Changes in ver 0.10:
-Modified some API funtion declarations to return more
information.
Changes in ver 0.09:
-Removed checking for BMAPI physical card handle since BMAPI
has verified the handle validity.
-Added broken cable distance calculation.
-This version works with BASCS control suite v1.25 or newer.
Changes in ver 0.08:
-Fixed the pair polarity change problem. Pair polarity test
determines the cable pair polarity for straight CAT5 cable.
Changes in ver 0.07:
-Software work around to reverse the pair polarity value for
wire map because BCM5700 NIC board has it reversed on board
rev16 and older.
Changes in ver 0.06:
-Modified wiremap polarity reading to read back the raw values.
Previous polarity values were intepreted based on the local
MDIX setting.
-The pair swap values which determine a straight/crossed cable
based on A<->B and C<->D pairs will not return reliable values
because remote gigabit PHY's MDIX setting can not be obtained
to realistically determine the cable pair swapping condition.
Local MDIX plus other MII registers information are not
sufficient to determine the pair swap information.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
