Observations

Fixes
-----
1. Problem: (CQ42399) 10G iSCSI fails when initiator and target MTUs
don't match.

Cause: cnic driver sets the MSS without knowing the actual MSS
option and timestamp option during TCP connection.

Change: Changed driver to set MSS to 0xffff so that firmware can
calculate MSS on its own.

Impact: bnx2x iSCSI.

2. Problem: 1G iSCSI fails when initiator and target MTUs don't
match and timestamp is enabled.

Cause: Firmware was not adjusting for the 12-byte timestamp option
if MSS was reduced by MSS option.

Change Updated firmware to 5.0.0.i

Impact: bnx2 iSCSI.

3. Problem: (CQ42353) Unable to disable TCP timestamp on 10G iSCSI.

Cause: Timestamp was hardcoded to be enabled for 10G.

Change: Update global timestamp option during each TCP connection.

Impact: bnx2x iSCSI.

4. Problem: (CQ42329) bnx2x MC assert during IPv6 login/logout.

Cause: EQ filled with more than 128 L4 kcqes without MSI-X interrupt
for 2 seconds. The driver can only buffer 128 L4 kcqes.

Change: Increased L4 kcqe buffer to 256 entries as a temporary solution.
Need to understand the delayed interrupt issue.

Custom keywords for the NeXtreme ODI32 driver.
TxBD_Pages =
This is to pre-allocate ECBs & Descriptor resources on the adapter for transmits.
Min = 1
Max = 127
Default = 2

RxBuffers=
This is to pre-allocate RCBs & Receive adapter resources.
Min = 20
Max = 1024

Speed=
This is to set the card speed
Choices for copper connectivity are :
AUTO, 10fd, ,10hd, 100fd, 100hd
Default is AUTO.
Choices for fiber connectivity are :
AUTO, 1000fd, 2500hd
Default is AUTO.

CheckSum=
This is to enable or disable the tranmsit & receive checksum off loading feature

Poll=
To disable interrupt driven mode in the driver set parameter 'Poll=1' and

This is a common feature supported in Netware. The poll mode may increase
driver performance under certain traffic types.
Choices are:
Poll=1 (ON)
Poll=0 (OFF) (Default)

coalesce =
This will enable interrupt coalescing by instructing firmware to combine
multiple transmit completion and receive indications per status block dma.
Min = 2
Max = 32
Default = 2

ELTO
Stands for 'Extended Link TimeOut' and used in applications which require
link negotiation to complete before driver load completes, e.g. Client32
This is a keyword parameter.
Default = not defined

WireSpeed=
To configure device operation @WireSpeed, set this parameter 'WireSpeed=1'.
Choices are:
WireSpeed=1 (Enable) [Default]
WireSpeed=0 (Disable)

Introduction
============
This file describes the SCO OpenServer Release 5 driver for the
Broadcom NetXtremeII series of 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps Ethernet Network
Interface Controllers.

Driver Software Package
=======================
This driver is released as a media image file containing the driver
package. This media image file can be copied to the target machine
directly for installation, or a floppy installation disk can be made.

Creating a floppy installation disk
===================================
1. Copy the VOL.000.000 file to an SCO system.
2. Create the floppy by running the following command:

'dd if=VOL.000.000 of=/dev/fd0'

Installing the driver
=====================
Use the custom or scoadmin software to install the driver from the
media image or from the floppy created above. After the package is
installed, use the netconfig or scoadmin software to configure a
Broadcom NetXtremeII device into the system.

win_2k_ris-5.0.0.zip

Observations

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BELOW
Due to limitations in Microsoft's operating systems not supporting the Virtual Bus Device architecture of the NetXtreme II 1 Gigabit adapter under certain circumstances, separate drivers were created to address these limitations. The NetXtreme II monolithic "RIS" driver allows the adapter to behave similarly to standard network adapters and only provides network connectivity without the advanced offerings of the device. The monolithic driver should be used for connectivity during the text mode portion of a RIS installation (by placing in the I386 or AMD64 platform directory), in a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), and for the agent used for Microsoft's Automated Deployment Services (ADS).

msiexec /x "{A46301E0-9B88-4BB0-8D2B-DDB4834D9219}" /qn
"Note: The hexidecimal number above may differ from your current installer. Please check the Key name corresponding with the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS) application in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for the correct hexidecimal number."
Note: After silently uninstalling it is necessary to reboot the system before reinstalling this installer. If a reboot is not performed, BASP will not install correctly.

Silent Install by Feature on IA32 Platforms: Use the ADDSOURCE to include any of the features listed below.
setup /s /v"/qn ADDSOURCE=BACSi32,BASPi32,SNMPi32,CIMi32"

Silent Install by Feature on AMD64/EM64T Platforms:

Silent Install by Feature on IA64 Platforms:
setup /s /v"/qn ADDSOURCE=BACSi64,BASPi64"

Silent Install from within a batch file and "wait" for the install to complete before continuing with the next commandline:
start /wait setup /s /w /v/qn

If performing a silent upgrade, your system may reboot automatically. If you wish to suppress the reboot, please use the command:
setup /s /v"/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the Broadcom device drivers, the installer installs the management applications. The following are installed when running the installer:

Broadcom Device Drivers: Installs the Broadcom device drivers.

CIM Provider: Installs the Common Information Model provider.
iSCSI Crash Dump Driver: Installs the driver needed for the iSCSI Crash Dump utility. (NetXtreme II only)

More information about our management applications can be found on their overview page.

These installers will not upgrade existing installations of Broadcom Management and Driver Apps; therefore, the existing installer must be removed and doing so will lose any settings and customizations.
