                    ==================================================
Version 2.4:
      1. Fixed cable unplug/replug problem (CQ#1998).

Version 2.3:
      1. Added 100Mbps WOL on A3/B5 boards.
      2. Fixed zero mac address when enabling WOL on fiber card (CQ#2236).

Version 2.2:
      1. Initialize PME Status upon the first time power-up.

Version 2.1:
      1. Fixed bug on WOL.
      2. Temporarily disable BCM5703 support.
      3. Fixed link loss on fiber card.

Version 2.0:
      1. Added WOL support
      2. Added BCM5703 support

Version 1.9:
      1. Added features so that neccessary manufacturing information is 
         stored in the shared memory.  This allows host driver can query 
         these information.

Version 1.8:
      1. Fixed a problem where PXE is not operatable in version 1.7.

Version 1.7:
      1. Added logic for 1.3v and 1.8v voltage source.
      2. Added logic forcing PCI mode.

Version 1.6:
      1. Added BCM5701 support.  
          * Initialize BCM5701 to use PHY LED mode.
          * Initialize BCM5701's PHY to advertise 10/100/1000.
      2. Timer prescaler is now initialized to reflect 66Mhz core clock.

Version 1.5:
      1. Added BCM5700 Fiber support.  

Version 1.4:
      1. Initialize BAR after first reset.

Version 1.3:
      1. Changed so that default manufacturing information now has proper
         power consumption and dissipation.

Version 1.2:
      1. Fixed a problem where firmware has problem accessing PHY registers
         during bootup time for NIC rev.12 and above.

Version 1.1:
      1. Format of ASIC revision ID has been changed.  Changed to generate
         PCI revision ID correctly.  

          ASIC Rev.           PCI Revision ID
          ========            ===============
            B0                     0x10
            B1                     0x11

Version 1.0:
      1. Initialize PHY LED mode based on subsystem vendor ID.
          * Dell Viper LOM (0x1028)  : Triple speed mode (MII 0x10 = 0x0)
          * Other : link/speed mode (MII 0x10 = 0x2)

Version 0.8:
      1. Initialize PHY LED mode based on subsystem device ID.
          * Dell Viper LOM (0x1028)  : Triple speed mode (MII 0x10 = 0x2)
          * Other : link/speed mode (MII 0x10 = 0x0)

Version 0.7:
      1. Initialize PHY (BCM5401) with scripts so that NIC has link after 
         power-on-reset before driver is loaded.

Version 0.6:
      1. Initialize Chip Revision ID in PCI configuration space.

Version 0.5:
      1. Added logic to perform PHY H/W reset.
      2. Initialize VPD delay so that BIOS can access VPD.

Version 0.4:
      Initial release.

  • 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.
