                              Version 2.25


v2.25  (April 16, 2004)
=====================

   Fixes:
   ------
      Problem:  (CQ#9661) Gratuitus ARP Request contains broadcast
                address in ARP source HW MAC address field.

      Cause:    Novell Cluster software is not using the correct HW
                MAC address.

      Change:   Driver corrects source HW MAC address field of ARP 
                packet. 

      Impact: None.
 

v2.24  (Aug 21, 2003)
=====================

   Fixes:
   ------
   1. Problem: (CQ #7783) BASP Advanced Server Screen does not
               display MAC address properly

      Cause: Screen not updated when a NIC is bound and MAC addres
             becomes available.

      Change: Added call to update screen when needed.

      Impact: None.
      
   2. Problem: (CQ #8313) Jumbo frame example in readme.txt is incorrect

      Change: Updated readme.txt to show the correct usage of JUMBO
              parameter for b57.lan.

      Impact: None.
      
v2.23  (Aug 04, 2003)
=====================

   Fixes:
   ------
   1. Problem: (CQ #8183) BASP sends out arp packets using old IP
               address that has been unbound.

      Cause: No mechanism to delete cached arp entries.

      Change: Added function to delete all inbound arp entries whenever
              a protocol is unbound from basp.
	      
      Impact: None.

   2. Problem: (CQ #7782) Node address not supported by basp.
   
      Cause: Node address always taken from bound adapters.
      
      Change: Added console message to say that the node parameter is
              ignored.
	      
      Impact: None.

v2.22  (May 08, 2003)
=====================

   Enhancement:
   ------------
   1. Problem: (CQ #7357) BASP does not support Transmit failed, carrier
               sense missing counter

      Change: Added support for this counter by incrementing it whenever
              there is no bound adapter or when all of them are linked-
              down.

      Impact: No other side effects.
