Release Note for BCM570x BOOT Code Firmware ================================================== 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.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.
