  261. CTRL-21712: Connection failed after resuming from Win10 Modern Standby
  262. Cause:
  263. When system entering/resuming from sleep, OS asks driver to put device into D3/D0.
  264. Driver needs to set up phy and wait for around 2.5 secs to get the link status
  265. from phy. With Modern Standby, driver was asked to set device to D3 and D0 in very
  266. short time (around 0.1 sec) which causes driver cannot get the correct link status
  267. and indicate link status to OS correctly.
  268. Change:

  357. 1. Problem:
  358. CTRL-20475 : Server crashed on "b57nd60a.sys" while doing continuous upgrade/downgrade of firmwares.
  359. Cause:
  360. Driver gets timeout while trying to acquire main spinlock in a timer function because the other driver
  361. thread (servicing private OID passed down from BMAPI to put driver into diag mode) doesn’t finish it
  362. task yet, the spinlock is not released yet.
  363. Change:
  364. Fwupg/BMAPI puts driver into diag mode first before passing down other commands/OIDs to program nvram.
  365. When driver is working in diag mode, the timer function should do nothing and return immediately.
  366. Impact:
  367. None
  368.  
  369. 2. Problem:
  370. CTRL-20424 : 5720 doesn't work under Win2012 R2 after adding Hyper-V service without virtual switch.
  371. Cause:
  372. When OS tells driver to assign 4th RSS queue (#3) to 49th CPU (#48), driver fails with the NDIS call
  373. NdisMConfigMSIXTableEntry() because driver doesn't allocate resource for mapping to 49th CPU during
  374. initialization. Driver doesn't allocate enough interrupt resources because driver was told there are
  375. 48 RSS capable CPUs and Hyper-Threading is disabled, however there are actually 64 CPUs activated.
  376. Change:
  377. Make driver to get correct number of activated CPUs and allocate interrupt resources accordingly.
  378. Impact:
  379. None
  380.

  382. CTRL-20506 : Customer is experiencing traffic stoppage using 5715 NICs on system using Win2008 x64.
  383. Cause:
  384. Driver received a tx packet from upper layer with an invalid physical address, it hits 5715
  385. errata #23403 and cause device traffic to stop.
  386. Change:
  387. Check if the physical address is above 1TB or not, if it does, driver will copy the packet data to
  388. a pre-allocated data buffer and send it out from there.
  389. Impact:
  390. None
  391.  
  392. 4. Problem:
  393. CTRL-20516 : 5720 traffic stops after transmitting large (32K) frame with DNF set.
  394. Cause:
  395. Driver receives NBL (Net Buffer List) that specifies LSO transmit information, but with MSS = 0 (Maximum Segment Size),
  396. then driver passes the packet (with 32K bytes) to device directly that make device tx doesn't work anymore.
  397. Change:
  398. Don't send the NBL with the invalid information (specifies LSO with MSS = 0).
  399. Impact:
  400. None
  401.  
  402. Enhancements:
  403. =============
  404. 1. Request:
  405. Don't put tx timestamp into the OOB structure in MiniportReserved[1] before calling the send complete handler.
  406. Change:
  407. The intermediate driver will use a private OID to get tx timestamp instead.

  424. 1. Problem:
  425. CTRL-20407 : Link not recognized on system with 64 cores.
  426. Cause:
  427. Driver was using a 32-bit parameter for getting target CPU in ISR, this makes
  428. driver code (servicing link status change interrupt in DPC) not executed correctly.
  429. Change:
  430. Use 64-bit parameter to get target CPU for DPC.
  431. Note:
  432. The issue happens with device using MSI interrupt only, not MSI-X.
  433.

  528. When device generates MSI interrupt, driver’s ISR is called, driver queues two DPCs for them on two
  529. different CPUs (one for the CPU gets interrupt, another for RSS target CPU). There is a chance that
  530. driver may mess up the internal RST parameter/flag, this make driver falsely think the DPC has not
  531. been completed and then it will not enable the interrupt. This makes device can not generate interrupt
  532. for rx/tx packets anymore
  533. Change:
  534. Make driver doesn't touch RST parameters while it's not running DPC for RSS target CPU.
  535. Impact:
  536. None
  537.  
  538. 3. Problem:
  539. CQ73852 : device shows link down randomly and is unable to pass traffic.
  540. Cause:
  541. There is a driver bug introduced by CQ73695 fix which makes driver doesn't handle interrupt resource
  542. assignment correctly when the total CPU number is larger than device's MSI-X vectors.
  543. Change:
  544. Add changes to correct the error.
  545. Impact:
  546. None
  547.  
  548. Version 17.0.0.0 Sep 09, 2014
  549. ----------------------------------------
  550. 1. Problem:
  551. CQ73695 - Driver only gets one MSI interrupt with specific numproc and groupsize configuration.
  552. Cause:
  553. With special configuration, driver doesn’t set interrupt message affinity correctly.
  554. Change:
  555. Add code change to make driver handle the special configuration properly.
  556. Impact:
  557. None.
  558.  
  559. 2. Problem:
  560. CQ73739 - OEM System: 30% performance reduction found with Jumbo 4088 Bytes testing.
  561. Cause:
  562. The current driver indicates one packet at a time to OS and inserts Receive Buffer Descriptors
  563. to device one by one when Jumbo Packet is enabled. With specific system, when CPU is not power
  564. enough, CPU is exhausted (getting 100% usage) during the test.
  565. Change:
  566. Driver to indicate multiple packets and inserts multiple RBDs to device at a time.
  567. Impact:
  568. None.
  569.  
  570. 3. Problem:
  571. CQ73756 - port 1 get disconnected status on Server2008 x86.
  572. Cause:
  573. Device doesn't generate interrupt because MSI enabled bit was not eanbled.
  574. Change:
  575. For 5715, the GRC reset will reset MSI enable bit as well, so driver needs to restore it.
  576. Make driver to save/restore the MSI capability registers correctly in a x86 system.
  577. Impact:
  578. None.
  579.  
  580. 4. Problem:
  581. CQ73764 - System gets BSOD while running BACS Diagnostics stress on 5719.
  582. Cause:
  583. Driver was making two continuous spin lock acquisitions. One comes from UM_QueryInformation(),
  584. when BACS passes T3_OID_DIAG_SUSPEND to driver, the other one comes from UM_CheckForHang().
  585. Change:
  586. Make driver not to acquire spin lock in UM_CheckForHang while driver is running in diagnostic mode.
  587. Impact:
  588. None.
  589.  
  590. 5. Problem:
  591. CQ73829 - Traffic stopped when setting Receive Buffer size to Minimum and flow control to Rx enable
  592. Cause:
  593. The minimum number of "Receive Buffers" was set to smaller than rx replenish threshold, there is a
  594. chance that driver may not be able to insert RBDs to device anymore.
  595. Change:
  596. Modify minimum value of "Receive Buffers" from 16 to 64.
  597. Impact:
  598. None.
  599.

  898. ----------------------------------------
  899. 1. Problem:
  900. CQ69498 - traffic stop observed with network stress test with jumbo MTU=9000
  901. Cause:
  902. Driver allocates RBD(receive buffer descriptor) more than device's receive return ring size (configured by driver).
  903. Under heavy traffic(mix of small and jumbo packets), driver will be busy processing small packets and the speed
  904. of driver servicing rx packet may not be fast enough, there is a chance that "receive return ring producer index" will
  905. exceed or equal to "receive return consumer index". When "receive return producer index" = "receiver return consumer
  906. index", driver thinks it has completed servicing all incoming rx packets, but actually ring is full and there are
  907. packets waiting for driver to process.
  908. Change:
  909. Configure the size of Receive Return Ring larger than the number of allocated RBDs.
  910. Impact:
  911. None.
  912.  
  913. Enhancements:

  1040. Version 16.2.0.1 Jul 05, 2013
  1041. ----------------------------------------
  1042. 1. Problem:
  1043. CQ69875 - When device gets single MSI-X vector assignment from OS, 5719/5720 can't send/receive packets normally.
  1044. Cause:
  1045. OS has resource assignment problem with some NICs, OS sets device’s MSI-X table entry with *SAME* address
  1046. and message data for all 17 vectors, however OS tells driver that it has 17 MSI-X interrupt resources to use
  1047. in MiniportFilterResourceRequirementsHandler(), this makes driver run the code path for multi-vector msi-x mode
  1048. and it’s causing problem.
  1049. Change:
  1050. Check the MSI-X table entry during initialization, if there is duplicated, driver falls back to single-vector RSS mode.
  1051. Impact:
  1052. None
  1053.  
  1054. 2. Problem:
  1055. 57762: system gets BSOD when driver is loaded.
  1056. Cause:

  1130. 1. Problem:
  1131. CQ68928 - OEM reports when one port of 5719 goes down, all the other ports go down.
  1132. Cause:
  1133. The serdes ties port0 to the PLL, when we power down the port0, the PLL goes down with it,
  1134. and so does all the other ports.
  1135. Change:
  1136. Apply CQ52060 workaround on 5719 - not setting port0 to low power mode when it is disabled.
  1137. Impact:

  1164. Cause:
  1165. While processing LSO fragments close to 4G boundary, device is fetching data
  1166. with incorrect address.
  1167. Change:
  1168. When driver detects the failing condition, driver will coalesce the entire LSO
  1169. fragments into a single continuous fragment.
  1170. Impact:

  1951. CQ64027 - BACS: Applying Enable Dash, appears as enabled, but it is not.
  1952. Cause:
  1953. With the particular testing steps, the APE shared memory will contain garbage data that makes driver think
  1954. the firmware type is NCSI, not DASH. So driver will return from UM_ApeEventWrite() immediately and
  1955. it will not send APE event to firmware anymore, then BMAPI stops and will not update nvram
  1956. Change:
  1957. Check the APE shared memory signature before getting firmware feature.

  1984. CQ63552 - After cable analysis test, enable/disable ASF will result in error ¡§Fail to save ASF Table¡§.
  1985. Cause:
  1986. Driver is not aware that ASF is enabled at runtime, CQ51828 workaround is activated and it causes device to

  2781. 1. Problem:
  2782. CQ56840 - system gets BSOD while remove BASP teaming adapter in Hyper-V "Virtual Network Manager".
  2783. Cause:
  2784. Driver is getting incorrect CPU count (using NdisSystemProcessorCount) in the particular system
  2785. which has been configured as "Number of processors" = 1. This causes driver to run the RSS code
  2786. path which it shouldn't.
  2787. Change:

  2804. Cause:
  2805. The RSS talble size is 0 in this particular configuration but device is still able to generate
  2806. MSI-X interrupt on CPU number larger than RSS ring size (4). There is a coding error that driver
  2807. may incorrectly ignore MSI-X interrupt so device doesn't service tx/rx packets anymore.
  2808. Change:
  2809. Correct the code to handle this particular configuration properly.

  2822. 5. Problem:
  2823. System hits breakpoint while running VMQTestingOIDs with check version driver.
  2824. Cause:
  2825. The fix in v14.8.1.5 resolves the interrupt storm (by driver’s updating incorrect tag value)
  2826. when VMQ is freed. However, the same problem happens when driver enables interrupt for VMQ during
  2827. initialization. Driver enables interrupt in VmqInitialize() with tag value 0, device generates
  2828. msi-x interrupt because device’s internal state of tag value is 1.
  2829. Change:
  2830. Make a workaround to force a status block update (without interrupt) to get the latest/correct
  2831. interrupt tag value and then enable the interrupt with the tag value (synced with device's).
  2832. Note:
  2833. None.
  2834.  
  2835. Enhancements:
  2836. =============

  2947. None.
  2948.  
  2949. 3. Problem:
  2950. CQ56383 - 5720_A0- The DPCs rate does not work as expected when toggling RSS Queues.
  2951. Cause:
  2952. RSSv1 (Vista, w2k8 and older) could give the driver a rss table with more processors than the number
  2953. of queues the driver advertised.

  2980. 1. Problem:
  2981. CQ55592 - 5718 B0: KeepAlive.htm of NDISTest6.5 WOL failure on Hyper threading with enabled
  2982. Cause:
  2983. It's hardware bug where writing to RxCPU scratchpad memory 0xC00350XX would also write to
  2984. APE Mutex area 0xC00150XX. This makes driver always get time-out while trying to obtain
  2985. APE Mutex for read/write GPHY. During this period, device is not able to pass traffic
  2986. because driver is still busy in initializing the device.
  2987. Change:
  2988. Reduce code size by removing code that are not used by PM Offload firmware.
  2989. Thus avoiding the affected scratchpad memory area (0xC00350XX).

  3084. CQ55346 - 5720: System gets BSOD (bugcheck D1) during NDISTest6.5 VMQ testing in DELL R910 16-Cores
  3085. Cause:
  3086. During NDISTest VMQ tests, NDISTest asks driver to allocate/free VMQs multiple times. There is a racing
  3087. condition that NDISTest may send out packets from server to client while VMQ initialization is not
  3088. completed yet, but VMQ's interrupt is already enabled. So device will generate interrupts for driver
  3089. to service rx packets for the VMQ, this causes driver to reference an invalid memory address.
  3090. Change:
  3091. Disable VMQ's interrupt when it's freed.
  3092. Impact:
  3093. None.
  3094.  
  3095. 3. Problem:
  3096. CQ55682 - WinFWUpg tool corrupts the NVRAM on 5720 after MBA upgrade

  3167. the intended S5 link speed
  3168. Change:
  3169. Don't reset and force Auto Negotiation on the PHY if "Port Flap Avoidance"
  3170. is enable in NVRAM configutation
  3171. Impact:
  3172. [1] no port flap during driver load/unload while in S0 with NCSI enabled
  3173. [2] no port flap during S0 (device driver enabled/active) to S5 shutdown w/ NCSI enabled

  3175. Version 15.0.0.2 Apr 25, 2011
  3176. ----------------------------------------
  3177. 1. Problem:
  3178. CQ54972: DTM testing gets stuck at VMQStressTest of NIDSTest6.5
  3179. Cause:
  3180. There is an coding error in the logic for CQ51637 workaround that makes NBLs pending in miniport
  3181. driver and it makes ndistest protocol driver keep waiting for driver to complete the packet.
  3182. Change:
  3183. Correct the logic to make driver complete the NBL successfully.
  3184. Impact:
  3185. None.

  3189. ----------------------------------------
  3190. 1. Problem:
  3191. CQ54928: Driver stuck when unloading driver with VMQ enable + key *RssOrVmqPreference=1
  3192. Cause:
  3193. When making NDISTest6.5 (in WLK1.5 or WLK1.6), user needs to add the registry *RssOrVmqPreference
  3194. manually before testing. This creates a corner case that make driver think VMQ is enabled, however
  3195. VMQ number is zero. This make driver's CQ51637 workaround no able to process send event anymore,
  3196. so it causes driver is unable to be unloaded because OS think there is pending NBL inside driver.
  3197. Change:
  3198. Make code change to process the corner case (VMQ enabled + zero VMQ number) properly.
  3199. Impact:
  3200. None.
  3201.  
  3202.  
  3203. Version 15.0.0.0A Apr 20, 2011
  3204. ----------------------------------------
  3205. Enhancements:
  3206. =============
  3207. 1. Request:
  3208. Limit 5719 Send BD size to 4K or less.
  3209. Change:
  3210. When the tx packet size is larger than 4K, driver will split the packet into
  3211. multiple SBDs with size less or equal to 4K.
  3212. Impact:
  3213. The change applies only for 5719.
  3214.  
  3215.  
  3216. Version 15.0.0.0 Apr 19, 2011
  3217. ----------------------------------------

  3220. Change:
  3221. Modify interrupt coalescing parameter by setting "RxMaxCoalescedFramesDuringInt" to 0 for OEM systems.
  3222. Impact:
  3223. None.
  3224.  
  3225. 2. Problem:
  3226. CQ54559 - Rx discards stat increments when dropping undesirable multicast frames.
  3227. Cause:
  3228. The counter increments because multicast frames are being rejected by the APE,
  3229. which increases the counter.
  3230. Change:
  3231. Implement an alternative strategy where the driver counts the number of times
  3232. rx mbuf resources are unavailable.
  3233. Impact:
  3234. The workaround grossly approximates the original function of the counter,
  3235. but not exactly. This bug only affects 5717/5718, 5719 A0, and 5720 A0.
  3236.  
  3237. 3. Problem:
  3238. The link flap happened on a third party EEE capable switch.
  3239. Cause:
  3240. A software workaround for EEE PHY interoperability issue is not right.
  3241. Change:
  3242. Modified the software workaround for EEE PHY interoperability issue.
  3243. Impact:
  3244. None.
  3245.  
  3246. 4. Problem:
  3247. CQ51637 - Network traffic on GOS will fail after running CC32 on all pass-thru paths.
  3248. Cause:
  3249. The failed symptom shows that Guest OS doesn't pass tx packet to driver for sending out anymore.
  3250. Change:
  3251. Check and indicate TX completion periodically in driver's timer function.
  3252. Impact:
  3253. The workaround applies to TSS capable devices only (ex. 5719/5720).
  3254.

  3312.  
  3313. 2. Problem:
  3314. CQ54066 - Need multiple Magic packets to wake system from S3/S4/S5 in Fiber mode.
  3315. Cause:
  3316. The wire clock is much faster than the TLP clock in Fiber mode.
  3317. As a result, it fails to capture the WOL event.
  3318. Change:
  3319. Bootocde v1.05 has a workaround to derive TLP clock from NCSI PLL when system is running on VAUX.
  3320. Make driver not to halt RX CPU during S3/S4/S5, so bootcode can execute the workaround successfully.
  3321. Note:
  3322. The change applys to 5720 only.
  3323.  
  3324. 3. Problem:

  3370. 1. Problem:
  3371. CQ52856 - Cotopaxi-A0: Running chariot with BASP teaming and Hyper-V on Host will cause BSOD
  3372. Cause:
  3373. When a NIC is added to a virtual network for VMs, OS will set *RssOrVmqPreference to tell
  3374. the driver RSS is not used even when VMQ is disable. However, when b57 driver is used by BASP
  3375. teaming and BASP is added to a virtual network, the key is set for BASP but not for b57
  3376. driver. So the b57 driver still think the RSS is enable. Plus RSS hash info is still passed on NBLs
  3377. which is used by TSS and cause the problem.

  3623. CQ51084 - ping a Jumbo frame enabled host with length greater than 1500 cause receive side failed.
  3624. Cause:
  3625. Driver doesn't set consistent value to Receive MTU Size Reg (0x43c) and MAX_Frame_Size (located in RCB
  3626. for Std Ring Reg 0x2458). The MTU Reg is used by EMAC to determine if device is going to receive or drop
  3627. the packet. Max Frame Size is used for device to determine if the packet goes to standard ring or jumbo
  3628. ring (by WDMA). For this particular case, ¡§ping xxxx ¡Vl 1473¡¨ will actually generate a packet with length
  3629. 1519 (1473 + 42 header + 4 CRC). This packet will be received by device, but device is unable to do WDMA
  3630. for this packet, because jumbo ring is not enabled. Then the packet makes device unable to receive packet
  3631. anymore (even with standard size packet).
  3632. Change:
  3633. Make driver to set MAX_Frame_Size (in RCB for Std Ring 0x2458) correctly.

  4073. Cause:
  4074. Driver is not aware that DASH is enabled/disabled at runtime, so driver can't make APE status update for
  4075. correct driver state.
  4076. Change:
  4077. Implement new change for driver make APE status update for driver state change. Also, driver needs BMAPI
  4078. (v7.19.0 and after) to suspend/resume driver after DASH has been enabled/disabled, then driver will have

  4135. 3. Problem:
  4136. CQ46602 - 57765 traffic broken when running chariot TX at 100M with jumbo enabled
  4137. Cause:
  4138. A control bit to enable/disable the Hw fix for CQ12429 is unexpectedly cleared by driver.
  4139. Change:
  4140. Enable the control bit back for fixing TxMBUF Lockup issue.
  4141. Impact:

  4143.  
  4144. Enhancements:
  4145. =============
  4146. 1. Request:
  4147. WMI event notification for 5761 DASH firmware.
  4148. Change:
  4149. The request is to enable immediate graceful power control and other remote management features in 5761.
  4150. The DASH firmware will generate an interrupt to the host. The driver will not be able to tell from the
  4151. status block that the interrupt is from the DASH firmware. So as part of the interrupt handling the
  4152. driver will need to query register 0x6810 (RX CPU Event). If bit 0 (SW Event 0) is set then the driver
  4153. will generate an WMI Event. Afterwards the driver will need to zero out this bit.
  4154. Impact:
  4155. The change works with 5761 with DASH firmware v1.42 or later.
  4156. 2. Request:
  4157. Fine tune dynamic VMQ HC.

  4182. None.
  4183.  
  4184. 4. Problem:
  4185. CQ46641 - Vista x64 gets BSOD after resuming from S4.
  4186. Cause:
  4187. After resuming from S4, the Receive Return Ring Produce Index read form host memory is incorrect,
  4188. this makes driver access to wrong Rx Buffer Descriptor and touch invalid memory address for buffer data.
  4189. Change:
  4190. Initialize all Receive Return Prod Indexes (of MSI-X status block) to 0 while reseting device.
  4191. Impact:
  4192. None
  4193.  
  4194. Enhancements:
  4195. =============
  4196. 1. Request:
  4197. Add the following changes in driver in order to support customer who uses OTP implementation.
  4198. 1) Driver needs to set bit 31 in register PCIE Physical Layer Register 0x1814 to disable clkreq in L2 to
  4199. workaround a chipset bug.
  4200. 2) Driver needs to clear bits [9:7] of PCIE Configuration Space in Function 0 Register 0x6C.
  4201. This is needed to ensure the SD Host Controller does not lock up.
  4202. 3) LAN Driver needs to force the Core Clock to 6.25MHz when the Ethernet Link is in 10Mb mode.
  4203. This is needed in order to workaround a Hardware synchronization issue in the DMA Read Engine to
  4204. prevent Fatal Error from stopping the transmitting logic.
  4205. Note: the changes are for 57765/57785 family devices only
  4206.

  4221. 1. Request:
  4222. CQ44978 - Use *ReceiveBuffers registry key for NDIS6.x and NDIS5.x driver.
  4223. Change:
  4224. Replace the registry keys with MSFT definition keys.
  4225. Impact:
  4226. None.
  4227.  
  4228. 2. Request:
  4229. CQ46736 - remove fix for CQ39683, CQ40054 from Windows drivers (ndis5, Ndis6)
  4230. Change:
  4231. Make changes as request. These fixes may cause PCIE Serdes corruptions that result in
  4232. device disappearances when the system resumes from S4 (CQ46606). These fixes are
  4233. removed from driver and added into OTP selfboot.
  4234. Impact:
  4235. It's for 57780/57760 family devices only.
  4236.  
  4237.

  4239. ----------------------------------------
  4240. 1. Problem:
  4241. CQ45486 - 5718: observe a periodical spike when running chariot TX with LSO Disabled
  4242. Cause:
  4243. Driver was unable to switch the interrupt coalescing paramter set (from default to alternate) successfully.
  4244. The alternate set of parameters is intended to make device generate certain numbers of interrupts per second
  4245. under heavy traffic. With unsuccessful switch and driver's dynamic interrupt coalescing enabled, driver stays
  4246. with default parameters set and driver will try to do interrupt coalescing setting switch every 60 seconds
  4247. when device's interrupt rate is high. This causes throughput to drop a little bit and user will see the
  4248. periodical spike in chariot graph.
  4249. Change:
  4250. Fine-tune Tx interrupt coalescing parameter (with MSI-X/RSS enabled and LSO disbaled) to make driver switch to
  4251. and stay with alternate interrupt coalescing parameter set successfully.
  4252. Impact:
  4253. None.
  4254.  
  4255. 2. Problem:
  4256. CQ45808 - VMQ: X64_0x3B_VRF_b57nd60a+4124a running NDISTest6.5 vmqstresstest
  4257. Cause:
  4258. Since Sawtooth can only set one HDS LookaheadSize. There was an assertion if two VMQs had different
  4259. LookaheadSize.
  4260. Change:
  4261. Dynamically update the HDS LookaheadSize and always allocate Lookahead buffer to the max LookaheadSize for
  4262. VMQ rx buffers. There are also many changes for MSFT WLK 1.5 VMQ tests.
  4263.  
  4264. Enhancements:
  4265. =============
  4266. 1. Request:
  4267. Enable Sawtooth bit16, 17, 18 in reg 0x70 for bmapi diag tests.

  4277. Change:
  4278. Remove the unnecessary spin lock for these OIDs.
  4279. Impact:
  4280. None.
  4281.  
  4282. 2. Problem:
  4283. CQ46066 - 5721:watch dog timer time out when the OS deploy job which is running where setup
  4284. is restarting the machine stating "setup will continue after restarting"
  4285. Cause:
  4286. A dpc come after the driver shut down.
  4287. Change:
  4288. Don't server the dpc after the driver shut down.
  4289. Impact:
  4290. None.
  4291.  
  4292. Enhancements:
  4293. =============
  4294. 1. Request:
  4295. CQ45484 - b57driver needs to add support for 5724.
  4296. Change:
  4297. The previous change in v14.0.0.6 is incomplete. Not only 2 parts IDs in inf files,
  4298. Driver needs to make other changes to work with 5724.
  4299. ex. Get ASIC revison from correct offset based on 5724's device ID.

  4338. Some bits in EeeMode reg are set by default
  4339. Change:
  4340. disabled all EEE related bits in EeeMode reg and clear PHY 1000TX/100Base-Tx EEE advertise
  4341. for Sawtooth if EEE mode is not enable.
  4342.  
  4343. 2. Problem:
  4344. CQ45444 - Tx NQS is filtering packets when opcode does match for TCP Payloads.
  4345. Cause:
  4346. For element filter Element-Header 4 "Start of TCP/UDP Payload, else IP Payload, else Ethernet Payload",
  4347. the current driver design will check on both TCP payload and IP payload and filter out the packet if
  4348. any one of them matches.
  4349. Change:
  4350. Make driver's TX NQS filter works like device's RX NQS filter - when packet contains IP payload and TCP payload,
  4351. driver will examine NQS filter against TCP or UDP payload only.
  4352. Impact:
  4353. None.
  4354.  
  4355. 3. Problem:
  4356. CQ45666 - 57765x-system hanged when run Diagnostic test at 100MF/100MH with ASF enabled
  4357. Cause:
  4358. During MAC loopback test in BACS diagnostic testing, there is a racing condition which causes
  4359. driver to free a spin lock which is not acquired yet. The deadlock makes system hang.
  4360. Change:
  4361. Make code change to prevent driver running into the racing condition.
  4362. Impact:
  4363. None.
  4364. 4. Problem:
  4365. CQ45662 - ASPEN(BACS): Diagnostics tests are not suspended for Aspen/57761/57781 adapter .
  4366. Cause:
  4367. The rx standard consumer index from status block is not correct when the driver is suspended.
  4368. Change:
  4369. Force a status block update and stop the hardware to make driver get the most updated index.
  4370. Impact:
  4371. None.
  4372.  
  4373. Enhancements:
  4374. =============

  4400. Impact:
  4401. None.
  4402.  
  4403.  
  4404. Version 14.0.0.5 Jan 15, 2010
  4405. ----------------------------------------
  4406. 1. Problem:
  4407. When upgrading to the EEE enabled driver. Going from version 14.0.0.4 to version 14.0.04A.
  4408. We could see the EEE property, however both the disable and enable values were missing.
  4409. After a system reboot, we could see them.
  4410. Cause:
  4411. OS can't stick on the default value of EEE property right after driver upgrade.
  4412. Change:
  4413. Add a workaround to force OS to stick with EEE default value after driver upgrade.
  4414.  
  4415. 2. Problem:
  4416. CQ45268 - 5718: System will link at 1G when put system in S3/S4/S5 mode.
  4417. Cause:
  4418. The fix for CQ44614 has assigned real/correct GPHY ID for 5718 copper interface. However it has a falw
  4419. which makes part of driver code (ex. LM_ForceAutoNegBcm540xPhy()) is not executed and it causes problem.
  4420. Change:
  4421. The driver code is executed with new 5718 GPHY ID for copper interface.
  4422. Impact:
  4423. None.
  4424.  
  4425. 3. Problem:
  4426. CQ44927 - Sawtooth:TCP SYN v4/v6 can't wake up when PM offload enabled.
  4427. Cause:
  4428. The address of wake-up pattern has been moved to 0x24000 in Sawtooth.
  4429. Change:
  4430. Use the correct address of wake-up pattern for Sawtooth with PM offload firmware v1.07.
  4431. Impact:
  4432. None.
  4433.  
  4434. 4. Problem:
  4435. CQ45152 - sawtooth: PLLpowerdown and CLKREQ.
  4436. Cause:
  4437. This is a A0 hardware issue that is Sawtooth does not allow PLLPowerdown in L1 to be enabled
  4438. if CLKREQ is also enabled.
  4439. Change:
  4440. Workaround by if CLKREQ is not enabled, driver needs to enable device L1 PLLPowerdown.
  4441.  
  4442. 5. Problem:
  4443. Driver failed on DTM 1c_kernelcalls test
  4444. Cause:
  4445. Driver has incorrectly made a call to DbgBreakPoint() with free version driver.
  4446. Change:
  4447. Remove DbgBreakPoint() from free version driver.
  4448.  
  4449. Enhancements:

  4496.  
  4497. Version 14.0.0.4 Jan 08, 2010
  4498. ----------------------------------------
  4499. 1. Problem:
  4500. CQ45036 - NDIS Driver 14.0.0.3: BACScli run diagnostic and cable analysis test failed.
  4501. Cause:
  4502. The fix of CQ43457 has a bug which doesn't detect pending number of
  4503. indicated rx packets correctly.
  4504. Change:
  4505. The count in IoRef struct should be 2 instead of 1 without pending
  4506. indicated rx packet.
  4507. Impact:
  4508. None.
  4509.  
  4510. 2. Problem:
  4511. CQ45009 - Bacscli: BSOD occurs wihle performing PHY loopback on 5704 with latest driver.
  4512. Cause:
  4513. During continuous PHY loopback test, Bacscli will pass T3_OID_SET_LINE_SETTINGS to make driver setup
  4514. GPHY for loopback mode or normal mode repeatedly. In some particular condition, Bacscli may pass the
  4515. OID to driver for starting PHY loopback test while driver is still servicing the Link Change interrupt
  4516. for the normal mode requested by Bacscli last time. This makes driver to free up a spinlock which is not
  4517. acquired yet, and it makes system BSOD.
  4518. Change:
  4519. Adding a delay in driver before servicing T3_OID_SET_LINE_SETTINGS to let driver finish the DPC for
  4520. servicing the link change interupt.
  4521. Impact:
  4522. None.
  4523.  
  4524. 3. Problem:
  4525. CQ45090 - System gets BSOD (bugcheck 0x7C) while changing speed/duplex to 100M-auto under EEE.
  4526. Cause:
  4527. The timer for EEE function to assert LPI (Low Power Idle) is fired due to the link up/down
  4528. event while driver is going to halt.
  4529. Change:
  4530. Cancel the EEE timer when driver is unloaded.
  4531. Impact:
  4532. None.
  4533.  
  4534. 4. Problem:
  4535. CQ44614 - 5718 Fiber: Flow Control does not work when set to "Auto" in W2K8sp2.
  4536. Cause:
  4537. Driver is not using correct PHY address for accessing Serdes GPHY. It makes device unable to get
  4538. correct Flow Control setting of link partner while doing Auto-Negotiation.
  4539. Change:
  4540. Use the correct PHY address while driver is accessing Serdes GPHY.
  4541. Impact:
  4542. None.
  4543.  
  4544. 5. Problem:
  4545. CQ45110 - The interrupt/sec counter does not go down noticealby with interrupt moderation enabled.
  4546. Cause:
  4547. Driver is still using default interrupt coalescing settings when interrupt moderation is disabled.
  4548. With interrupt moderation enabled, driver has an implementation for dynamic interrupt coalescing
  4549. which will switch the interrupt coalescing settings from default to alternate when traffic is busy.
  4550. So under some conditions, driver will stay with default settings with interrupt moderation enabled.
  4551. This makes the interrupt number look the same when interrupt moderations is disabled.
  4552. Change:
  4553. Disable interrupt coalescing completely when interrupt moderation is disabled.
  4554. Impact:
  4555. None.
  4556.  
  4557. 6. Problem:
  4558. CQ45051 - 5718/57765: Running 1 session cc32 is sluggish.
  4559. Change:
  4560. Adjust default interrupt coalescing setting to improve the performance.
  4561. Impact:
  4562. None.
  4563.  
  4564. 7. Problem:
  4565. CQ45129 - 57765 : Glitchfreedevice test (in WLK NDISTest6.5) failed on Win2K8R2 x64 with MSI-X enabled
  4566. Cause:
  4567. Driver doesn't pass RST (Receive Side Throttle) parameter while calling UM_Dpc() from UM_DpcMsi() when MSI-X
  4568. is enabled. This makes driver's function for indicating Rx packets is not aware that RST is enabled and it
  4569. indicates all packets it has received and causes test failed.
  4570. Change:
  4571. Fix the error to make sure RST paramter is passed to UM_Dpc().
  4572. Impact:
  4573. None.
  4574.  
  4575. Enhancements:
  4576. =============
  4577. 1. Request:
  4578. EEE LPI is enable only if EEE PHY negotiation success.
  4579. Impact:
  4580. The change is for 57765/57785 and 5717/5718 family devices only.
  4581.  
  4582. 2. Request:
  4583. Add GPHY Green Mode support for 5717/5718/57765/57785 family devices.
  4584. Change:
  4585. Whenever link is at 1G and cable length is less than 10m, driver
  4586. will enable device GPHY Green Mode for saving power.
  4587.  
  4588.  
  4589. Version 14.0.0.3 Dec 18, 2009
  4590. ----------------------------------------
  4591. 1. Problem:
  4592. CQ44534 - Sawtooth: Need to add ARP/NS offload support
  4593. Cause:
  4594. 5718's ARP/NS offload support was missed in the b57nd60a.inf file.
  4595. Change:
  4596. 5718's ARP/NS offload support is added in the b57nd60a.inf file.
  4597. Impact:
  4598. None.
  4599. 2. Problem:
  4600. CQ43457 - specific OEM Management Port w/ NX1 controllers hangs and panics system during SW upgrade
  4601. Cause:
  4602. The driver can't be suspended after firmware upgrade because some rx packets never return back to
  4603. the driver and causes specific OEM's heart beat timer timeout.
  4604. Change:
  4605. Return failure status for this case.
  4606. Impact:
  4607. Cause FW upgrade program return non-zero exit code.
  4608.  
  4609. 3. Problem:
  4610. CQ44866 - 5718: The link speed is 100M when put system to S5 mode with NVRAM WOL enabled.
  4611. Cause:
  4612. The link speed should be 10M while system is in S5 with WOL speed set to LSA. However, the
  4613. additional power-switching operation added for CQ44688 fix in the device reset routine has
  4614. caused an unexpected reset after Vmain has been removed when system is in S5.
  4615. Change:
  4616. Remove the unnecessary power-switching in the driver reset rountine.
  4617. Impact:
  4618. It's for NIC design type only not for LOM.
  4619.  
  4620. 4. Problem:
  4621. CQ44894 - Switch Flow control doesn't work correctly while system boots into OS
  4622. Cause:
  4623. Driver doesn't do GPHY Auto-Negotiation while it's loaded with cable connected. This makes switch
  4624. (with pause frame setting = AUTO) unable to determine device's pause frame ability when link is up.
  4625. Change:
  4626. Make driver to do GPHY Auto-Negotiation while it's loaded with cable connected.
  4627. Impact:
  4628. None.
  4629.  
  4630. 5. Problem:
  4631. CQ44864 - NDISTest6.5 (WLK1.5) fails with glitchfreedevice test on BCM5787M under Win7 x86
  4632. Cause:
  4633. Driver has an optimization code in DPC for handling rx packets which it will contine to check in a loop
  4634. to see if there is new incoming rx packet. If there is any new packet coming in, it will continue to
  4635. indicate rx packets to upper layer. This makes driver indicate packets over the number (per DPC)
  4636. specified by the RST (Receive Side Throttle) parameters.
  4637. Change:
  4638. Disable the optimization code while RST is enabled/running.
  4639. Impact:
  4640. None.
  4641.  
  4642. Enhancements:
  4643. =============
  4644. 1. Request:
  4645. CQ44826 - Add 4 part ID support for specific OEM.
  4646. Change:
  4647. Added IDs
  4648. Impact:

  4650.  
  4651. 2. Request:
  4652. Enhanced change for EEE function to prevent link drop during heavy traffic.
  4653. Impact:
  4654. The change is for 57765/57785 and 5717/5718 family devices only.
  4655.  
  4656.  
  4657. Version 14.0.0.2 Dec 05, 2009
  4658. ------------------------------
  4659. 1. Problem:
  4660. CQ44688 - Device doesn't switch from Vaux to Vmain while either port is enabled from both ports are diabled.
  4661. Cause:
  4662. Driver doesn't switch device power source from Vaux to Vmain while device is disabled and then enabled.
  4663. Change:
  4664. Make sure device is on Vmain whenever driver is loaded.
  4665. Impact:
  4666. It's for NIC design type only not for LOM.
  4667.  
  4668. 2. Problem:
  4669. CQ44702 - The link speed is 100M after system entering S1/S3/S4 mode while Power Management is disabled.
  4670. Cause:
  4671. The bootcode set the link speed at 100M when Vmain goes away is due to the wol enable bit is set in
  4672. the NVRAM. The bootcode will honor the wol enable bit in nvram is due to no wol_signature in shared
  4673. memory offset 0xd30.
  4674. Change:
  4675. Make driver to setup wol signature correctly when wol function is enabled.
  4676. Impact:
  4677. None
  4678.  
  4679. 3. Problem:
  4680. CQ44692 - Sawtooth: Hyperv-VMQ: BSOD with 7E while assign 8 different VALN ID to GOSes.
  4681. Cause:
  4682. It was caused by the assertion of not supporting vlan filter on vmq default queue.
  4683. Change:
  4684. Add vmq vlan filter support for default queue.
  4685. Impact:
  4686. None
  4687.  
  4688. 4. Problem:
  4689. CQ42316 - During Factory X64 download, Active directory scripts are not downloading.
  4690. Cause:
  4691. The Netlongon service starts before network is ready. The reason why netowrk is not ready is due to
  4692. an additional GPHY reset added during code merge for 5785, this extra GPHY reset makes device take
  4693. longer time to link up while driver is loaded.
  4694. Change:
  4695. Make the GPHY reset for 5785 only, not for other devices.
  4696. Impact:
  4697. None
  4698.  
  4699. Enhancements:
  4700. =============
  4701. 1. Request:
  4702. Adding support for 57765/57785 ASIC GPHY ID.
  4703. Change:
  4704. GPHY MII reg 0x2 = 0x0362, GPHY MII reg 0x3 = 0x5e40.
  4705. Impact:
  4706. None.
  4707. 2. Enable PM offload for Sawtooth.
  4708. 3. Support EEE PHY.

  4710.  
  4711. Version 14.0.0.1 Nov 27, 2009
  4712. ----------------------------------------
  4713. 1. Problem:
  4714. CQ44600 - System gets BSOD when run no link load/unload on 5718 Fiber port 2.
  4715. Cause:
  4716. The bugcheck code (7c) shows that there is a timer event fired after driver is halted.
  4717. It is related to timer "AutonegRetryTimer" driver uses for Fiber interface only.
  4718. Change:
  4719. Prevent driver from scheduling new timer event when driver is halted.
  4720. Note:
  4721. None
  4722.  
  4723. 2. Problem:
  4724. CQ44650 - 5718: WOL fail to wake from S3(Standby) and S4 (Hibernate) using Ping.
  4725. Cause:
  4726. The wake up patterns are not programmed correctly for 5718.
  4727. Change:
  4728. Correct the error to make sure the patterns are saved in the correct place.
  4729. Note:
  4730. None
  4731.  
  4732. 3. Problem:
  4733. CQ44586 - 5718: System halt (BSOD) while installing driver on specific OEM system.
  4734. Cause:
  4735. Driver (for 64-bit OS) will generate 2 DWORD Memory Write while accessing APE Host Registers.
  4736. However, device does not support Memory Write with 2 DWORD. So device will generate
  4737. ERROR_NONFATAL message to rootcomplex and set bit_15 (Completer Abort Status) of
  4738. Uncorrectable Error Status Register (0x104).
  4739. Change:
  4740. Prevent driver from generating 2 DWORD Memory Write while working with 64-bit OS.
  4741. Impact:
  4742. None
  4743.  
  4744. 4. Problem:
  4745. CQ44443 - 5718: When system enters S3, device gets link at 100Mbps while doing WOL negative test.
  4746. Cause:
  4747. Driver for dual ports NIC design needs to make handshake before doing power-switching, only one driver
  4748. instance needs to do the power switching. The current driver code will make twice power switching for NIC,
  4749. this causes an unexpected reset after Vmain is removed. Then bootcode will be reloaded and configure
  4750. link speed to 100Mbps instead of powering the device with no link (when WOL is not needed).
  4751. Change:
  4752. Make driver to handle power-switching for device with NIC design properly (by using APE Ctrl register
  4753. 0x08 bits[19:2] for dual-port message exchange).
  4754. Impact:
  4755. None.

  4768. ----------------------------------------
  4769. 1. Problem:
  4770. CQ44266 - 5761 (with DASH enabled) has low chariot thruput result under WinXP.
  4771. Cause:
  4772. The code for NQS (Network Quarantine Service) is incorrectly executed while NQS
  4773. is disabled in DASH.
  4774. Change:
  4775. Make driver to check if NQS is enabled or not before running the code for NQS.
  4776. Note:
  4777. None
  4778.  
  4779. Enhancements:

  4818. Version 12.4.0.2 Oct 11, 2009
  4819. ----------------------------------------
  4820. 1. Problem:
  4821. 57760/57780 fails on FwCfg 1G loopback test.
  4822. Cause:
  4823. The GPHY Green Mode is enabled when device is linked at 1G speed and it causes
  4824. FwCfg unable to receiving packets during loopback test.
  4825. Change:
  4826. Make driver not to enable GPHY Green Mode while making external loopback test.
  4827. Note:
  4828. None
  4829.  
  4830. 2. Problem:
  4831. CQ43851- Device disappears after multiple iterations of copy/compare test on specific OEM system.
  4832. Cause:
  4833. Due to design limitations, sometimes L1 exit transition does not cause the serdes pll to resume
  4834. normal operation. When this happens the LOM will not be able to response to PCIE transaction
  4835. and may be removed from the PCIE enumeration tree.
  4836. Change:
  4837. Implement the workaround to disable Pll Powerdown in L1 by writting 0x7080 to register offset
  4838. 0x7d54 afer every chip reset.
  4839. Note:
  4840. It's for 57760/57780 family devices only.

  4852. Version 12.4.0.1 Sep 28, 2009
  4853. ----------------------------------------
  4854. 1. Problem:
  4855. CQ43465 : Under network stress test in Windows 2008R2, the LOM will disconnect within 10 minutes.
  4856. Cause:
  4857. During ISR, NDIS 6.20 driver calls the NdisMQueueDpcEx function to schedule DPC calls on CPUs.
  4858. Under rare condition (ex. the CPU serives the interrupt is very busy) and it causes the DPC
  4859. (scheduled for another CPU) start to run immediately before the ISR finished, this messes driver's
  4860. count for pending DPC and it causes the interrupt is not enabled anymore.
  4861. Change:
  4862. Move the code (calls to NdisMQueueDpcEx) to end of ISR to resolve the race condition.
  4863. Note:
  4864. None
  4865.  
  4866. 2. Problem:
  4867. WLK1.4 RTM : Plug and Play Driver Test BSOD in Win2k8 R2 IA64
  4868. Cause:
  4869. During PNP test, device will be removed and the memory space (bit_1 of reg 0x04) is cleared.
  4870. When driver is trying to do register access through address (BAR + register offset), it causes system
  4871. BSOD with bugcheck code 0x124.
  4872. Change:
  4873. Make driver not to touch any register after receiving "Surprise Removal" Event Notification from NDIS.
  4874. Also make driver to de-register interrupt, cancel timers and free resources in MiniportHaltEx function.
  4875. Impact:
  4876. None

  4896. 1. Problem:
  4897. CQ43026 - b57vista: RSS function doesn't work when enabled.
  4898. Cause:
  4899. The structures NDIS_RECEIVE_SCALE_PARAMETERS (specifies the RSS parameters) are different between
  4900. NDIS 6.20 and earilier then NDIS 6.20. The formats of indirection table are different as well.
  4901. These make driver doesn't handle OID_GEN_RECEIVE_SCALE_PARAMETERS properly and the device RSS
  4902. function is not configured correctly.
  4903. Change:
  4904. Modify driver code to handle the new structure correctly while compling with Win7 DDK.
  4905. Note:
  4906. None
  4907.  
  4908. Enhancements:

  4962. ----------------------------------------
  4963. 1. Problem:
  4964. CQ42211 - B57Driver is unable to filter packets with NQS (Network Quarantine Service).
  4965. Cause:
  4966. Driver is lack of NQS support.
  4967. Change:
  4968. Add NQS support in driver to filter out tx packet specified by DASH firmware.
  4969. Note:
  4970. The function needs to work with DASH v1.22.0.0 or after and it's for 5761 family devices only.
  4971.  
  4972. 2. Problem:
  4973. CQ42470 - System gets blue screen (with bugcheck D1) during sleep stress tests.
  4974. Cause:
  4975. When driver is processing RST in DPC and the value returned from NDIS marco "NDIS_CURRENT_PROCESSOR_NUMBER"
  4976. is larger than RSS rings number, this will cause driver to unexpectedly assign NULL value to another member
  4977. (called pRxJumboBdVirt) in driver's low device block structure. Then system gets BSOD when driver is running
  4978. the code with pRxJumboBdVirt when system is resuming from Standby.
  4979. Change:
  4980. Ensure RstParam in driver's low device block is never accessed with a subscript that is too large.
  4981. Impact:
  4982. None.
  4983.  
  4984. 3. Problem:
  4985. CQ42667 - PM Offload doesn't work when it's enabled.
  4986. Cause:
  4987. IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement packet is broken with uninitialized TX Mbuf header field.
  4988. Change:

  4990. Impact:
  4991. None.
  4992.  
  4993. Enhancements:
  4994. =============
  4995. 1. Request:
  4996. CQ42236 workaround - Driver needs to implement the following procedures before any GRC or CPU reset
  4997. 1. write 0x7d54 with 0x7080 (to disable l1 pll pwrdwn), then
  4998. 2. do a dummy read of 0x7d54 to flush the write, then
  4999. 3. issue GRC or CPU reset.
  5000. Change:
  5001. Make driver change as requested.
  5002. Impact:

  5014. ----------------------------------------
  5015. 1. Problem:
  5016. CQ42109 - Win7: 57780 can not do arp respone for a long time with PM offload enable.
  5017. Cause:
  5018. The RxMBuf memory size allocated for the CiLai PM Offload firmware to store its data
  5019. was too small. The firmware data was overflowing into the RxMBuf area used for received
  5020. packets thus causing a corruption of the firrmware data.
  5021. Change:
  5022. Increased RxMbuf memory used by the CiLai PM Offload firmware to store its data.
  5023. Impact:
  5024. None.
  5025.  
  5026. 2. Problem:
  5027. CQ42223 - Win7 - Flow Control Setting is disabled with the Gold 12.2 Driver.
  5028. Cause:
  5029. The inbox driver has disabled the settings per MSFT's request. When upgrading driver
  5030. , the disabled settings persists, instead of changing to Auto.
  5031. Change:
  5032. Make inf change to delete the Flow Control setting and reset the setting to Auto.
  5033. Impact:
  5034. None.
  5035.  
  5036. 3. Problem:
  5037. CQ42247 - 5761(LOM) : PM offload dies after few iterations
  5038. Cause:
  5039. PM Offload firmware was locking/unlocking thw SW arbitration bit during initialization
  5040. to access the NVRAM. Apparently there was some timing issue with the driver on OEM system
  5041. during the downloading of the firrmware causing the SW arbitration bit to stay lock thus
  5042. causing the firmware not to run.
  5043. Change:
  5044. Resolution is to remove access to NVRAM since firmware does not need any info from NVRAM.
  5045. Impact:
  5046. None.
  5047.  
  5048. Enhancements:
  5049. =============
  5050. 1. Request:
  5051. CQ39683: Cilai detects Receiver Error when the Link Transition between L0s/L0
  5052. Change:

  5054. a. write register 0x7e70 bit [4:0] with 0x0c during device initialization or device reset
  5055. b. write all ones to register 0x110 (correctable error status).
  5056.  
  5057. 2. Request:
  5058. CQ40054: PLL power down common mode voltage glitch on Tx
  5059. Change:
  5060. workaround: use low-power transmitter mode during device initialization or device reset
  5061. changed PCIe SerDes register values to the following
  5062. a. Register 0x15 in block 0x8610 = 0x47b.

  5071.  
  5072. 4. Request:
  5073. Add Windows 7 Power Management Offload support for 57760/577805/7790
  5074. Change:
  5075. Support for this new feature is added in this driver version.
  5076. Impact:
  5077. The PM Offload firmware is now bound to the driver, so any update
  5078. will require a driver spin moving forward. Also, PM Offload is not
  5079. compatible with ASF, so will be disabled if ASF is enabled.
  5080.  
  5081. 5. Request:
  5082. CQ42216 - Update friendly name for OEM projects
  5083. Change:

  5097. Impact:
  5098. None.
  5099.  
  5100. 2. Problem:
  5101. CQ41352 - BCM5754M fails WOL on ICMP PING test
  5102. Cause:
  5103. When pattern size is less than 64 bytes and byte mask is less than 8 byte, driver will try to
  5104. set "end of wol comparison pattern" at 64 bytes (the minimun ethernet packets) but it never happens.
  5105. Without setting "end of wol comparison stream", device is unable to detect wol packet correctly.
  5106. Change:
  5107. Make driver to set "end of wol comparison pattern" correctly.
  5108. Impact:
  5109. None.
  5110.  
  5111. 3. Problem:
  5112. CQ41284 - Win7-PM offload test failed -5705 failed to send arp response when system
  5113. stayed in sleep mode with PM Offload enabled.
  5114. CQ41280 - Win7- TCP SYN v4 / v6 cannot wake up system, but it works fine when PM
  5115. offload is disabled.
  5116. Cause:
  5117. The 5705 has an errata which prohibits using the internal CPU instruction cache.
  5118. There is some register contention between the driver and the PM Offload firmware
  5119. Change:
  5120. The firmware in this version disables the instruction cache.
  5121. The driver is changed to load the PM Offload firmware only once power down chip
  5122. setup is done.
  5123. Impact:

  5185. 1. Problem:
  5186. CQ40782 - NDISTest6.5 (WoL and PM) failed on WolWin7Pattern test under Window 7.
  5187. Cause:
  5188. Driver is setting END of WOL stream according to (Mask Size * 8), instead of Pattern Length.
  5189. When the wol pattern length is less than (Mask Size *8), device is unable to recognize
  5190. the packet as a valid packet and it won't wake up system.
  5191. Change
  5192. Make driver to set END of WOL stream according to WOL pattern length.
  5193. Impact:
  5194. None.

  5213. Version 12.2.0.0 April 20, 2009
  5214. ----------------------------------------
  5215. 1. Problem:
  5216. CQ40017 - DASH: does not show correct driver version in Software Inventory.
  5217. Cause:
  5218. There is a problem with the new 4-part NDIS driver versioning scheme (e.g. 12.0.0.5).
  5219. The existing APE shared memory interface definition only supports 3-part driver version numbers (e.g. 12.0.0).
  5220. Change:
  5221. A new field has been created for an 8-bit driver build number (e.g. 12.0.0.n) to be supported.
  5222. Impact:
  5223. None
  5224.  
  5225. 2. Problem:
  5226. CQ40241 - APE shared memory initialized/updated incorrectly on Vista-x64 and XP-64.
  5227. Cause:
  5228. Driver uses function RtlZeroMemory() to initialize APE shared memory while it
  5229. is loaded. However, the function will make x64 OS to generate invalid "Memory Write"
  5230. to device when the virtual address (mapped to device APE shared memory) is used as
  5231. input address. Similiar issue happens when driver is trying to copy message data
  5232. (eg. date/time) from application/BMAPI to APE shared memory using NdisMoveMemory().
  5233. Change:
  5234. Use other addressing method to make OS generate "Memory Write" with correct data
  5235. while driver is trying to initialize/update device's APE shared memory.
  5236. Impact:
  5237. None
  5238.  
  5239. 3. Problem:
  5240. CQ39984 - WinFWUPG (57760 with ATMLH742) after upgrade asf, run "crc" will get checksum failed.
  5241. Cause:
  5242. Driver does not handle eeprom page write correctly. When page write crosses the page boundary
  5243. the data word address will roll over and the previous data will overwritten.
  5244. Change:
  5245. Make driver to handle eeprom page write properly so that eeprom is programmed correctly.
  5246. Impact:
  5247. None
  5248.  
  5249. 4. Problem:

  5505. 1. Problem:
  5506. CQ36053 - Windiag shows "Device failed to negotiate link after 15sec" during PHY reset test
  5507. Cause:
  5508. Some device may generate "Link Status Change" interrupt immediately after powering down GPHY.
  5509. This causes driver to run LM_SetupPhy() in UM_DPC() for servicing GPHY interrupt, while the
  5510. application may send another T3_OID_PHY_ON to driver for powering on GPHY. This causes two
  5511. driver threads to access GPHY at the same time, and it may cause GPHY content programmed
  5512. with incorrect value.
  5513. Change:
  5514. Disable interrupt before powering down GPHY.

  5529. Remove a lock in HaltAdapter() which caused BSOD reported by MSFT.
  5530. Cause:
  5531. Driver was calling NdisMSleep() while holding a spin lock and this causes
  5532. assertion failed: KeGetCurrentIrql() < DISPATCH_LEVEL
  5533. Change:
  5534. Make driver not to acquire a spin lock while calling NdisMSleep().
  5535.  
  5536. 4. Problem:
  5537. CQ38082 - 3rd Party Filter Driver with our NXI Device Causes Loss of Connectivity
  5538. Cause:
  5539. Some packets were being held by a filter driver. There were insufficient packets
  5540. available to have our batching logic send them to NDIS when received or to put newly
  5541. free packets to the chip.
  5542. Change:
  5543. Added code to keep from running out of packets. Also if Jumbo Frames are supported,
  5544. do not batch packets to NDIS or the chip, but process them immediately.
  5545. Impact:
  5546. None.

  5577.  
  5578. 6. Request:
  5579. Bypass IPSEC info in NBLs and the codes if IPSEC offload is not supported.
  5580. Cause:
  5581. Driver is trying to handle IPSEC NBL on 5780 which doesn't support ipsec offload and
  5582. then it causes bugcheck (code 0xD1).
  5583. Change:
  5584. Add safe guard code to bypass IPSEC info in NBLs if device doesn't support IPSEC offload.
  5585.

  5589. 1. Problem:
  5590. CQ37690 - System cannot transmit packets by file sharing under Windows2008.
  5591. Cause:
  5592. When system is sending packets with LSO and TCP/IP checksum offload enabled,
  5593. the initial tcp checksum field of packets coming from upper layer is not correct.
  5594. Driver has a workaround to initialze the tcp checksum field with zero value,
  5595. but this workaround didn't apply on 5780.
  5596. Changes:
  5597. Apply the tcp checksum workaround on 5780.
  5598. Impact:
  5599. Resolve CQ37690.

  5604. Cause:
  5605. Introduced while fixing CQ34267 and CQ33947
  5606. Change:
  5607. Backing out both above CQ fixes. The implementation before
  5608. these changes was correct, and was also consitant
  5609. with NXII. The RxMtu the driver exports excludes the
  5610. Ethernet frame header.
  5611. Impact:
  5612. The Jumbo packet size observed on the wire will be larger than the
  5613. user specified value by 14 bytes, which is the Ethernet header size.
  5614.  
  5615. Enhancements:

  6021. 2. Problem:
  6022. CQ35234 - 5784M/5764M will not assert Wake signal one the first Wake magic packet received.
  6023. Cause:
  6024. When device is connected to particular switch with specific PHY at 1G bps, with wol speed
  6025. set to lowest speed, driver will program GPHY to advertise 10M bps support and restart
  6026. auto-negotiation while system is going from S0 to S3/S4/S5. In the meantime, 100tx or 1000t
  6027. idle sent from the link partner can confuse the local 10M bps polarity state machine, which
  6028. in turn can corrupt the first 10Mbps packet received.
  6029. Change:
  6030. Make driver workaround to reset link porlarity state machine and restart auto negotiation.
  6031. Impact:
  6032. Resolve CQ35234.

  6170. 3. Problem:
  6171. CQ34822 - Network traffic drops after SUT wakes up from S3/S4 while WOL is disabled.
  6172. Cause:
  6173. The reason why device doesn't pass traffic after system resuming from S3 (with
  6174. "Allow computer to turn off xxx" is unchecked) is because the upper layer doesn't use
  6175. the OID_OFFLOAD_ENCAPSULATION OID to set the task offload encapsulation settings
  6176. of an underlying miniport, and this makes our driver fails to send certain packets
  6177. which need driver/device to take care of checksum offload tasks.
  6178. Change:
  6179. Make driver to cache/restore the OID_OFFLOAD_ENCAPSULATION parameters across suspend/resume.
  6180. Impact:

  6183. 4. Problem:
  6184. CQ34959 - Modify NDIS 6.0 driver WoL behaviour when the "allow the computer to turn off
  6185. the device to save power" box is unchecked
  6186. Cause:
  6187. When driver's halt handler is called, driver enables device magic packet wol function according
  6188. to nvram wol setting.
  6189. Change:
  6190. Make driver to take advantage of a HaltAction flag in the halt handler, then driver can use this
  6191. flag to determine the reason why it's Halt handler is called and behave accordingly.
  6192. Impact:
  6193. Resolve CQ34959.
  6194.

  6219. Cause:
  6220. The changes which caused low performance was only for 5788(NON-DAC) and there was a CQ35248
  6221. for it. The LM_IsAsicBondId5788 define was not correct which caused 5786 saw the problem.
  6222. Change:
  6223. Correct LM_IsAsicBondId5788 define.
  6224. Impact:
  6225. Resolve CQ35060.
  6226.  
  6227. 8. Problem:
  6228. CQ34659- ndis6: Remove LSO option in driver property for 5703 and 5704
  6229. but not on previous driver
  6230. Cause:
  6231. The NDIS6 driver does not implement LSO for these chips, so there is no need to have the
  6232. option in the driver advanced property page
  6233. Change:
  6234. Removed the LSO option from the infs for these chips.
  6235. Impact:
  6236. None.
  6237.  
  6238. 9. Problem:
  6239. CQ34743 - MTU size needs to be 4 bytes larger with Management FW enabled
  6240. Cause:
  6241. The MtuSize register needs to be programed with a value larger by 4 bytes.
  6242. We need this change to allow the firmware to process max size VLAN packets
  6243. while the driver is running.
  6244. Change:
  6245. Increased the MtuSize register by 4 bytes.
  6246. Impact:
  6247. No impact.
  6248.  
  6249. 10. Problem:
  6250. DASH processor stalls when the driver applies a GRC reset
  6251. while the DASH processor is also accessing the GRC reset register
  6252. Cause:
  6253. A LSI bug is causing this behavior. This driver implements the LSI recommended workaround.
  6254. Change:
  6255. The workaround requires the driver to acquire a mutex register before issuing the GRC
  6256. reset. The driver also waits 10us before releasing the mutex after the GRC reset
  6257. Impact:
  6258. DASH firmware 0.96 or later is required for this fix to work.
  6259.  
  6260. 11. Problem:
  6261. CQ35248 - OEM system has a RX performance issue w/ 32bit Vista driver v10.62.1.2.
  6262. Cause:
  6263. 5788 does not support dual address cycles and it cannot transmit a 64-bit address to a target
  6264. device. So driver has a workaround to allocate DMA buffers under 4G for 5788. However, the
  6265. cache type driver using for memory allocation is incorrect and this causes performance drop.
  6266. Change:
  6267. Make driver to use correct cache type while doing memory allocation.
  6268. Impact:
  6269. Reseolve CQ35248.
  6270.  
  6271. 12. Problem:
  6272. CQ33869 - 5704C has poor performance in WinPE 2.0 in a system with > 4 cores
  6273. Cause:
  6274. There are some scenarios, we can be asked to send continuously without having a chance to
  6275. cleaning up the transmitted queue hence we are running out of UM_PACKET.
  6276. Change:
  6277. Clean up the tx queue if we see no UM_PACKET in the send path if we see no UM_PACKET
  6278. instead of giving up
  6279. Impact:
  6280. Reseolve CQ33869.
  6281.

  6622. ----------------------------------------
  6623. 1. Problem:
  6624. CQ33858 - Device loses connection while doing load/unload test.
  6625. Cause:
  6626. When driver is unloaded, driver does a GRC Reset. When the link doesn't come back
  6627. immediately, CPMU will put MAC core clock into slower speed. This makes boot code
  6628. to be reloaed and executed slower. This also makes driver exceed waiting loop.
  6629. Finally, GPHY register corrupted because of driver and boot-code racing condition.
  6630. Change:
  6631. Change CPMU Clock Policy Registers to increase the Core Clock Speed before issue
  6632. a GRC reset and restore these registers after boot code has completed initialization.

  6635.  
  6636. 2. Problem:
  6637. CQ33947 - Change *JumboPacket default MTU size to 1514
  6638. Cause:
  6639. The OEM is requesting that we default our mtu size for *JumboPacket to 1514
  6640. and not 1500. Note that our driver has already 'raised' the mtu size to 1514
  6641. when it sees 1500
  6642. Change:
  6643. Made the corresponding inf change to raise the default to 1514.
  6644.  
  6645. 3. Problem:
  6646. CQ32554 - Need NX1 ia64 driver parameters to comply with MSFT standards for NDIS6

  6667. done in hardware instead of the software implementation.
  6668. Cause:
  6669. New chip requiring different actions.
  6670. Change:
  6671. Activate hardware fix for this CQ in driver and not with code in
  6672. the receive packet processing logic.
  6673. Impact:
  6674. New devices have hardware support for this fix that must be
  6675. activated in the driver.

  6951. CQ32692 - BSOD in Vista with driver while running common scenario stress
  6952. Cause:
  6953. Driver incorrectly cleans 5764M RX return ring producer index during system suspend/resume
  6954. from sleep. This makes driver get stuck when OS is trying put system into sleep again.
  6955. While OS is telling driver to put device into D3, driver can't complete IRP (IRP_MJ_POWER
  6956. / IRP_MN_SET_POWER) and this causes system BSOD with Bug check - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.

  6976. expected while doing RSS disabling test with zero "Hash Function Information" and
  6977. non-zero "Indirection Table Size".
  6978. Change:
  6979. Correct the logical error to make driver disable device RSS function successfully.
  6980. Impact:
  6981. Resolve CQ33122.
  6982.  
  6983. 5. Problem:
  6984. CQ32886 - Ndis6: SUT locks up when running cable analysis test while passing chariot traffic
  6985. Cause:
  6986. NDIS may returns rx packets later under heavy traffic and driver will still insert the returned
  6987. packets into rx producer ring after state machines have been halted. This make driver falsely
  6988. think it's missing some rx packets and make driver fall into a waiting loop. Besides, this also
  6989. causes driver to mess up it's rx producer index.
  6990. Change:
  6991. Collect rx packets from producer ring and insert them back to rx free list.
  6992. Impact:
  6993. Resolve CQ32886.

  7737. 1. Problem:
  7738. CQ28745 - Phy Loopback failed in SR71 Blade Server 5906m LOM when
  7739. cable is not present
  7740. Cause:
  7741. LM_SetupSnowLoopback() is resetting the PHY
  7742. at the start of the loopback test. This reset was removed
  7743. from the NDIS5.1 code base in the past, but not from the NDIS6
  7744. code base.
  7745. Change:
  7746. Removed the spurious PHY reset in LM_SetupSnowLoopback().
  7747. Impact:

  7762. Cause:
  7763. There is an interoperability issue between the Broadcom
  7764. LAN controllers and the Intel ICH7/8 that may cause the
  7765. Rx-performance at 100 Mbps to be lower then expected when
  7766. L1 ASPM is enabled along with system CPU C3E, or C4, or C4E
  7767. or higher state.
  7768. Change:
  7769. Along with the device driver change here, that will drive
  7770. the PCI-E link less aggressively into L1 ASPM during
  7771. network stress, the user must enable the feature
  7772. by setting a configurable option inside the LAN
  7773. controllers NVRAM.
  7774. Impact:
  7775. There is no known impact from enabling this
  7776. feature. As a matter of fact, enabling this
  7777. feature will increase the power savings in
  7778. case the system has disabled 'L1 ASPM' due to
  7779. the interoperability issue described above.

  7817.  
  7818. 4. Problem:
  7819. Fixed minor errors in implementing fix for CQ28493 and CQ28506.
  7820. Cause:
  7821. Wrong friendly name, and missing registry keys.
  7822. Change:
  7823. Fixed the friendly name (CQ28506), and added the requested
  7824. registry key (CQ28493).
  7825. Impact:
  7826. None.
  7827.  
  7828. 5. Problem:
  7829. CQ28458 - System hang when running BACS/Diagnostics Test
  7830. Cause:
  7831. There is a potential for a race condition to occur between the
  7832. LAN controller's Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) and its
  7833. scheduled Deferred Procedure Call (DPC) when running the Broadcom
  7834. Diagnostics utility (BACS). The affected code segment
  7835. responsible for the problem is only executed when running BACS.
  7836. Due to the fact that this issue requires a very specific timing
  7837. between the ISR and the DPC this problem it is rather intermittent,
  7838. or may not surface at all on particular systems.
  7839. Nevertheless, when this condition occurs an ISR-storm gets triggered
  7840. what will cause the LAN controller to saturate the system CPU and
  7841. hang the system.
  7842. Change:
  7843. Modified specific code segments inside the device driver that
  7844. get executed when running BACS in order to not enable interrupts
  7845. inside the LAN controller twice what will prevent ISR-storms to occur.
  7846. Impact:
  7847. All BRCM chips are affected by the problem equally. There are no
  7848. known side effects from fixing this issue.
  7849.  
  7850. 6. Problem:
  7851. 5755/5756 Bugcheck D1 on LH Server with 8 or more CPUs if RSS is
  7852. enabled.
  7853. Cause:
  7854. The driver doesn't always calculate the correct receive ring index
  7855. in the case of system's number of CPUs is greater than the number of
  7856. receive rings.
  7857. Change:
  7858. Modified specific code segments so that the driver can correctly
  7859. calculate the receive ring number.
  7860. Impact:
  7861. There is no known side effect from fixing this issue.
  7862.  
  7863.

  7866. 1. Problem:
  7867. CQ28412 - Low power mode in 5755M does not work under Vista.
  7868. Cause:
  7869. The Ndis driver was halting the embedded cpu when Wake Up Frame is enabled
  7870. when the driver is being unloaded.
  7871. Change:
  7872. Modified the Ndis driver to only halt the embedded cpu when the system is
  7873. transitioning to S3/S4 and Wake Up Frame is enabled.
  7874. Impact:
  7875. None.
  7876.  
  7877. 2. Enhancement Request:

  7952. Version 10.8b ** Inf Update Only ** January 9, 2007
  7953. ----------------------------------------
  7954. 1. Problem:
  7955. CQ#27306 - Adding WOL support for 5715S, for Tyan S3997,
  7956. 5715S A3.
  7957. Cause:
  7958. WakeOnTbi should be applied to BCM5714SWol install section.
  7959. Change:
  7960. Change the WOL option from ParamsWoL to ParamWakeOnTbi
  7961. in the BCM5714SWol install section of the inf files.

  7977. ----------------------------------------
  7978. 1. Problem:
  7979. CQ27896 System CPU busy after finishing CPU test in BACS.
  7980. Cause:
  7981. The driver clears the status tag in host memory whem resuming
  7982. the driver. This causes problem if MSI is active because
  7983. MSI will not de-assert if the latest tag is not written
  7984. to interrupt mailbox to ack the interrupt. The re-generated
  7985. MSI interrupt doesn't associate with a status block update.
  7986. One-shot MSI implemented on newer chips would solve this problem
  7987. but it's not available to older PCIe chips.
  7988. Change:
  7989. Modify the driver not to clear the status tag after finishing
  7990. diagnose.
  7991. Impact:
  7992. None.
  7993.  
  7994. Version 10.7 December 14, 2006
  7995. ----------------------------------------
  7996. 1. Problem:
  7997. CQ27776 5906 intermittently fails BACS Phy Loopback test.
  7998. Cause:
  7999. The 5906 phy auto-mdix feature needs to be disabled during phy
  8000. loopback test.
  8001. Change:
  8002. Modified the ndis driver to disable auto-mdix during phy
  8003. loopback on 5906.
  8004. Impact:
  8005. None.
  8006.  
  8007. 2. Problem:
  8008. CQ27874 5906 -remove LSO support from sys and INF file
  8009. (just like for 5906m)
  8010. Cause:
  8011. Refer to the CQ for more information
  8012. Change:
  8013. Modified the ndis driver and inf file to not report this
  8014. feature to the operating system during ndis driver initialization.
  8015. Impact:
  8016. None.
  8017.  
  8018. 3. Problem:
  8019. CQ27832 5755M failing IEEE compliance on certain OEM platforms.
  8020. Cause:
  8021. The phy trim registers needed to be modified by the ndis device driver.
  8022. Change:
  8023. Modified the ndis driver to program the phy trim registers per
  8024. recommendation from phy engineering team.
  8025. Impact:
  8026. None.
  8027.  
  8028. 4. Problem:
  8029. CQ#27795 remove "interrupt moderation" from
  8030. "advanced driver properties" for OEM platforms.
  8031. Cause:
  8032. Refer to the CQ27795 for more information
  8033. Change:
  8034. For affected platforms, we want to hide the "interrupt moderation"
  8035. option inside the driver advanced properties.
  8036. Impact:
  8037. None.
  8038.  
  8039.  
  8040. Version 10.6 December 8, 2006
  8041. ----------------------------------------
  8042. 1. Problem:
  8043. CQ27759 5906 fails WHQL packet filter test.
  8044. Cause:
  8045. The 5906 uses a different mechanism to filter broadcast
  8046. packets from previous controllers.
  8047. Change:
  8048. Modified the ndis driver to properly filter broadcast packets
  8049. on 5906.
  8050. Impact:
  8051. None.
  8052.  
  8053. Version 10.5 December 4, 2006
  8054. ----------------------------------------
  8055. 1. Problem:
  8056. CQ#27413 - implement restrictive AutoNeg in NDIS6 driver.
  8057. Cause:
  8058. The feature hasn't been populated from the NDIS5x driver because
  8059. MSFT make the auto neg standardized keyword.
  8060. Change:
  8061. Modify driver translated non-standardized values to recognize
  8062. restrictive auto negotiation settings.
  8063. Impact:
  8064. None.
  8065.  
  8066. 2. Problem:
  8067. Low throughput performance on DosXX-5906M with ASPM enabled.
  8068. Change:
  8069. The low performance we are seeing is due to a design flaw
  8070. in the ASIC. This flaw causes the PCI-e latency during DMA
  8071. transfer to become unecessarily large, and leads to a lower
  8072. throughput. The only way to get around this problem, is to
  8073. coalesce every tx packets for the the 5906, which this Windows
  8074. driver version does.
  8075. Impact:
  8076. Possibly higher CPU utilization with this version.
  8077.  
  8078. 3. Problem:
  8079. Adding WOL support for 5715S, for Tyan S3997, 5715S A3
  8080. Change:
  8081. Added an entry for this device in the generic win32 and x64
  8082. infs.
  8083. Impact:
  8084. None.
  8085.

  8092.  
  8093. Version 10.4 November 27, 2006
  8094. ----------------------------------------
  8095. 1. Problem:
  8096. CQ00027621 - Cannot Select Box to Allow AUT to wake up Computer
  8097. in Pwr Mgmt Tab with NDIS 6 v10.3.
  8098. Cause:
  8099. In the v10.3 release, there is a requirement to remove certain
  8100. advanced settings for some oem platforms, hence the driver's
  8101. inf was changed to remove some registry settings before starting
  8102. up the installation in order to clean up the registry keys.
  8103. However, the OS installer seems to defer deleting registry at a
  8104. point after these keys were re-populated back to the HKR location.
  8105. Hence, the driver would not be able to read the settings.
  8106. Change:
  8107. Limited the keys to delete for the affected OEM platforms, only
  8108. delete keys that are not used by the affected OEM platforms.
  8109. Impact:
  8110. None.
  8111.  
  8112. Version 10.3 November 22, 2006
  8113. ----------------------------------------
  8114. 1. Problem:
  8115. Need to clean up stale registry keys left by the inbox driver.
  8116. Cause:
  8117. For certain new devices, the inbox driver does generic 2-part
  8118. matching during installation. For such new devices, the generic
  8119. 2-part installation section contains advanced features and settings
  8120. which is not required by some OEMs for their new platforms. In these
  8121. new platforms, 4-Part ID is used to specify the installation
  8122. section with simplified settings which contains less configurable
  8123. parameters in the advanced pages. However, the upgrade driver
  8124. process does not clean up the advanced settings left by the
  8125. inbox driver hence those undesired settings still accessible
  8126. through the advanced property page.
  8127. Change:
  8128. Delete all advanced settings before install or upgrade driver.
  8129. Impact:
  8130. None.
  8131.  
  8132. 2. Problem:
  8133. None

  8139. Impact:
  8140. none.
  8141.  
  8142. 3. Problem:
  8143. CQ27551, CQ27500, CQ27498 EnergyStar WOL feature does not work.
  8144. Cause:
  8145. The code for did not configure the phy properly when dropping
  8146. the feature was enabled.
  8147. Change:
  8148. Corrected the EnergyStar feature to configure the phy correctly.
  8149. Impact:
  8150. None.
  8151.  
  8152. 4. Problem:
  8153. CQ27588, EnergyStar feature should be enabled by default for
  8154. devices that require the feature.
  8155. Cause:
  8156. Feature request.
  8157. Change:
  8158. Changed the default behavior to enabled for devices that require
  8159. the feature.
  8160. Impact:
  8161. None.
  8162.  
  8163. 5. Problem:
  8164. CQ27536, Remove Large Send Offload feature from 5906M.
  8165. Cause:
  8166. Feature request.
  8167. Change:

  8380. CQ#27025 - Vista driver do not have vlan tagging support.
  8381. Cause:
  8382. In Windows Vista, Microsoft states the only correct way to
  8383. support VLAN is using IM driver to set VLAN ID in NBL OOB.
  8384. After discussed with MSFT, we added the VLAN ID registry
  8385. setting as a temporarily solution for customers who want
  8386. to support VLAN without an IM driver.

  8615. Version 9.20.0.2 Aug 04, 2006
  8616. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8617. 1. Problem:
  8618. Driver cannot be unloaded after running 2c_loadunload in a loop
  8619. overnight. It usually happens after running the script for 4
  8620. hours.
  8621. Cause:
  8622. At UM_Halt, driver disables interrupt on the h/w then calls
  8623. NDIS function to disconnect interrupt from operating system.
  8624. There is a window that a pending DPC for Isr has been queued
  8625. but OS has not called NDIS's DPC for Isr when driver made call
  8626. to disconnect interrupt from IDT. NDIS will in turn a)
  8627. deallocate interrupt object. b) NdisMDeregisterInterruptEx
  8628. immediately return without waiting for pending DPC to complete.
  8629. When system calls NDIS's Dpc for Isr later, NDIS will not call
  8630. driver's Dpc for Isr routine. It leaves driver pending DPC count
  8631. non-zero, hence, the halt function will wait until it goes to
  8632. zero which will never happen.
  8633. Change:
  8634. Driver waits for pending DPC to complete after disabling
  8635. interrupts on h/w. It only call NdisMDeregisterInterruptEx when
  8636. pending DPC count is clear (zero).
  8637. Impact:
  8638. Fixed the problem as described above.
  8639.  
  8640. 2. Problem:
  8641. AUT stops passing traffic in Chariot Stress test when LsoV2
  8642. is enabled on capable NICs such as 5755/5754/5787.
  8643. Cause:
  8644. Driver would prematurely clear the MSS in the LSO NBL information
  8645. structure when the driver is running out of SBD and pushes the
  8646. NetBufferList back to the send queue. The driver would not see
  8647. the MSS information when resending the netbufferlist after SBDs
  8648. become available.
  8649. The logic of setting LSO completion is carried from old code.
  8650. This problem was in the driver since day one but it doesn't
  8651. expose until we test it with RC1 build+LsoV2.
  8652. Change:
  8653. Modify the code to setup LSO completion information after
  8654. the LSO packet was actually transmitted.
  8655. Impact:
  8656. Fixed the problem as described above.

  8661. Driver sometimes experience linked list corruption which leads
  8662. to different problems such as hang, data corruption etc.
  8663. Cause:
  8664. The function s_list_pop_head does not terminate the linked-list
  8665. by setting the "next" field to null. If we subsequently add the
  8666. removed entry to other linked list, it would add more entries
  8667. than it's supposed to and the value in "cnt" field doesn't match
  8668. the number of entries in the link list obviously.
  8669. XP driver doesn't have this problem because it doesn't
  8670. use any of functions from listq.h
  8671. Change:
  8672. Nullify the "next" field after the entry was removed from queue.
  8673. Impact:
  8674. None.

  8676. Version 9.20.0.0 Jun 13, 2006
  8677. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8678. 1. Problem:
  8679. NDIS6 driver for Vista RC 1 needs to implement new offload
  8680. interface.
  8681. Cause:
  8682. This is a Vista RC 1 and RTM requirement.
  8683. Change:
  8684. Implemented changes to comply with the new offload interface.
  8685. Implemented Group Keyword for TCPIP offload settings.
  8686. Modified the code to comply with latest NDIStester tools.
  8687. Impact:
  8688. Driver passes RC 1 NDIStest on a patched 5452 build.
  8689.  
  8690. 2. Problem:
  8691. Need to merge OEM and BRCM generic INF.
  8692. Cause:
  8693. This is a Vista RC 1 and RTM requirement.
  8694. Change:
  8695. OEM and BRCM generic INFs are merged.
  8696. Impact:
  8697. All IDs from these infs (based on b57win 9.52B) are included
  8698. in the inbox INF file.
  8699.  
  8700. 3. Enhancement Request:
  8701. CQ#25620 Add 4 ID device match for new OEM project.
  8702. Cause:
  8703. New 4 ID device match support request by OEM. (mobile)
  8704. Change:
  8705. Added new 4 ID device match for OEM project.
  8706. Impact:
  8707. Resolve CQ#25620 Enhancement Request.
  8708.  
  8709. Version 9.18 Jun 24, 2006
  8710. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8711. 1. Problem:
  8712. Resume take 2 seconds longer if the ethernet cable is connected.
  8713. Cause:
  8714. NDIS6 driver does not complete a set power request timely if
  8715. link is up before going into low power mode. The driver will
  8716. wait for the link to come up at DPC level for seconds. This
  8717. prevent other thread from running.
  8718. Change:
  8719. Driver completed the set power without waiting the link to go up.
  8720. Driver does not indicate link status to OS during link setup right
  8721. in the case of resuming from low power mode. It schedules a link
  8722. check timer to finally report the link status if there is a change.
  8723. This is to ensure driver doesn't mistakenly indicate a link down
  8724. and indicate link up again.
  8725. Impact:
  8726. Fixed the problem as described.
  8727.  
  8728. 2. Problem:
  8729. CQ#25391 - 1c_KernelCalls IoGetAttachedDeviceReference
  8730. Cause:
  8731. This is introduced while implementing a workaround for beta 2
  8732. NDIS.sys not being able to access PCI configuration space at
  8733. MiniportAddDevice callback. Miniport driver hence need to get
  8734. access to the device stack. But NDIS driver can not call
  8735. IoGetAttachedDeviceReference.
  8736. Change:
  8737. Remove the IoGetAttachedDeviceReference since the driver doesn't
  8738. really need reference to the topmost device object while accessing
  8739. the PCI bus driver.
  8740. Impact:
  8741. Fixed CQ#25391.
  8742.  
  8743. Version 9.17 Jun 15, 2006
  8744. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8745. 1. Enhancement Request:
  8746. Enable private OID support for Vista.
  8747. Cause:
  8748. LH NDIS wrapper will failed OIDs sent to any NDIS6 driver if
  8749. the OIDs has not been included in the supported OID list. If
  8750. NDIS6 driver returns private OIDs in the support list,
  8751. IOCTLCoverage will throw random data through the advertised
  8752. OID. The driver does not validate the contents in the input
  8753. buffer that cause random behavior while handling private OID.
  8754. Change:
  8755. Modify the driver to include private OIDs in the supported
  8756. OID list. An input buffer header was added to each private.
  8757. The header contains signature setup by the calling application.
  8758. Driver always validate the signature before process a private
  8759. OID. Changes are also made to BMAPI.
  8760. Impact:
  8761. Driver now can passed IOCTLCoverage test with private OID
  8762. support. BACS can talk to NDIS6 driver through the modified
  8763. BMAPI.
  8764.  
  8765. 2. Problem:
  8766. CQ#25320 NDIS6: InterruptModeration test failure
  8767. Cause:
  8768. Driver does not return BytesWritten.
  8769. Change:
  8770. Return buffer size properly.
  8771. Impact:
  8772. Fixed CQ#25320.
  8773.  
  8774. 3. Problem:
  8775. Driver BSODs when there are more than 32 CPUs installed.
  8776. Cause:
  8777. Driver assumed the max number of CPUs is 32 and allocated
  8778. a static array of 32 elements for per-CPU data. It causes
  8779. memory overrun when the number of active CPUs is more than 32.
  8780. Change:
  8781. Instead of using hardcoded number, the driver gets number
  8782. of active CPUs through newly added kernel API and allocates
  8783. memory from non-paged pool for per-processor slot data.
  8784. Impact:
  8785. Driver will not crash when number of CPU is greater than 32.
  8786.  
  8787. 4. Problem:
  8788. Driver initialization causes newer Vista check build to assert.
  8789. Cause:
  8790. Driver didn't properly clean up the RSS attribute pointer while
  8791. registering generic attributes with ndis.
  8792. Change:
  8793. Change made to the initialization code to clean up the RSS
  8794. attribute pointer if the chip does not support RSS.
  8795. Impact:
  8796. Fixed the assert in newer Vista check build.
  8797.  
  8798. Version 9.16 Jun 12, 2006
  8799. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8800. 1. Enhancement Request:
  8801. CQ#24438 - Need to support MSI in NDIS 6 driver on MSI capable
  8802. devices.
  8803. Cause:
  8804. The NDIS 6 driver for 57xx devices does not currently support
  8805. MSI on *any* device, even devices that are capable of supporting
  8806. MSI. It is a MSFT Vista logo requirement that all PCI-E devices
  8807. supoort MSI, and thus the driver for PCI-E devices should support
  8808. MSI. So the driver needs to be modified to support MSI for
  8809. Shasta Cx step devices, and all later PCI-E devices including
  8810. Baxter, Stanford, Jade, and Caeser. The driver should not support
  8811. MSI on Shasta A/B steps due to known HW errata regarding MSI in
  8812. those devices. At this time the driver is not required to support
  8813. MSI on non PCI-e devices.
  8814. Change:
  8815. Added code support MSI in ndis6 driver. Change INF to enable OS
  8816. to assign MSI resources for devices newer than Shasta. The driver
  8817. implemented code to filter out MSI resources and roll back to INTX
  8818. for Shasta A/B steps based on chip rev read from PCI config 0x68.
  8819. Impact:
  8820. MSI now is supported on Shasta CX and up.
  8821.  
  8822.  
  8823. Version 9.15b May 19, 2006
  8824. Same driver binary files as prior v9.15 Driver Release
  8825. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8826. 1. Enhancement Request:
  8827. Keep NDIS60 INF in sync with XP's INF.
  8828. Change:
  8829. Synced to 9.52B XP inf.
  8830. Impact:
  8831. None.
  8832.  
  8833.  
  8834. Version 9.15a May 17, 2006
  8835. Same driver binary files as prior v9.15 Driver Release

  8837. 1. Enhancement Request:
  8838. CQ#24766 Add 4 ID device match for new OEM project.
  8839. Cause:
  8840. New 4 ID device match support request by OEM. (mobile)
  8841. Change:
  8842. Added new 4 ID device match for OEM project.
  8843. Impact:
  8844. Resolve CQ#24766 Enhancement Request.
  8845.  
  8846. 2. Enhancement Request:
  8847. CQ#24456 Remove 4 ID device match for new OEM project.
  8848. Cause:
  8849. Old 4 ID device match support request by OEM. (mobile)
  8850. Change:
  8851. Removed new 4 ID device match for OEM project.
  8852. Impact:
  8853. Resolve latest requirement for CQ#24766
  8854.  
  8855. Version 9.15.0.0 May 12, 2006
  8856. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8857. 1. Problem:
  8858. CQ#24741 INF Scrub for Vista Inbox Driver Revealed Missing Support
  8859. for Some Chips and Invalid 4-part IDs.
  8860. Cause:
  8861. Some 2-Part IDs are missing and invalid 4-Part IDs.
  8862. Change:
  8863. Added required 2-Part IDs and removed invalid 4-Part IDs.
  8864. Impact:
  8865. Fixed CQ#24741.
  8866. 2. Problem:
  8867. Need to sync-up to XP driver to pickup latest fixes.
  8868. Change:
  8869. Manually merge files from XP driver.
  8870. Impact:
  8871. Picked up latest changes, fixes to the XP driver.
  8872.  
  8873. Version 9.14.0.0 May 5, 2006
  8874. Merged from 9.4.2.9
  8875. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  8876. 1. Problem:
  8877. There are multiple synchronization problems in code paths,
  8878. such as the Pause/Restart, Reset, Halt, PowerManagement, interrupt
  8879. and DPC handling etc.
  8880. Cause:
  8881. Vista OS appears to be more asynchronous which would trigger
  8882. some race conditions in the some code inherent from the old design.
  8883. Change:
  8884. Make disabling/enabling interrupt synced with ISR, ensure no pending
  8885. DPC after interrupt has been disabled. Re-write RX code so that is
  8886. clean and easy to sync with other operations such as reseting, pausing,
  8887. restarting, switching between power modes. Driver can not be safely reset
  8888. in most case so the reset code has been changed to asynchronous.
  8889. Impact:
  8890. Fixed many race conditions reported by MSFT during their internal
  8891. test and deployment.
  8892.  
  8893. 2. Enhancement Request:
  8894. Use in-stack spinlock to improve performance in performance critical
  8895. Path.
  8896. Cause:
  8897. Enhancement.
  8898. Change:
  8899. Use in stack spinlock to improve performance in performance critical
  8900. Path.
  8901. Impact:
  8902. Enhance spinlock performance.
  8903.  
  8904. 3. Problem:
  8905. Interrupt coalescing doesn't work and CPU usage is high under heavy
  8906. traffic.
  8907. Cause:
  8908. Driver disables interrupt at ISR and invoke DPC. DPC will continuously
  8909. check status block update and process send and receive events until
  8910. a) no more status block update event b) DPC has executed more than
  8911. 10 ms c) DPC loop count has been reached. When DPC is running, no
  8912. interrupt is generated hence the interrupt count is very low. The
  8913. interrupt coalescing logic believes the device is not generating
  8914. many interrupts/events and won't kick in.
  8915. Change:
  8916. change made to the DPC to increment the interrupt count when it detects
  8917. a new status block update so that the interrupt coalescing logic will
  8918. engage to coalesce the host-attention events.
  8919. Impact:
  8920. Reduced CPU utilization under heavy traffic and improve PEI.

  9074. 1. Problem:
  9075. NDIS6 driver need to pick up latest changes from XP driver.
  9076. Cause:
  9077. Merge of NDIS5.x driver changes is required.
  9078. Change:

  9084. Vista 5308 Network Connection displays 1Gb while adapter is
  9085. initialized with a 10/100Mb link.
  9086. Cause:
  9087. NDIS in this build assumes the link speed to be the Max Speed
  9088. the driver has advertised at initialization without sending
  9089. OID to query current link speed.
  9090. Change:
  9091. The Link Done Timer routine will test the current link speed
  9092. if the link is active. It compares the current speed against
  9093. the Max Speed advertised at initialization time, it indicates
  9094. link speed change event to NDIS if current link speed does not
  9095. equal to Max Link Speed.

  9119. ----------------------------------------
  9120. 1. Problem:
  9121. CQ23438 System with 5752M fails to get DHCP address on boot
  9122. if LAN cable was disconnected during OS boot and later
  9123. connected after user log on to Windows.
  9124. Cause:
  9125. A non recoverable Read DMA error occurs in this test scenario,
  9126. due to NIC's internal core clock being automatically slowed down
  9127. by logic in the device when the GPHY DLL is automatically powered
  9128. down when CAT 5 cable is disconnected.
  9129. The GPHY DLL automatically gets powered down and NIC's internal
  9130. core clock gets slowed down when the CAT 5 cable disconnected,
  9131. this is an intended design power saving feature.
  9132. Unfortunately, the slowed down of the core-clock causes Read DMA
  9133. error, which resulted in the system failed to acquire the IP address
  9134. via DHCP.
  9135. Change:
  9136. Modified driver code to Not Enable the GPHY DLL Auto-Power-Down
  9137. feature of hardware for 5752M Devices.
  9138. Impact:
  9139. Higher power consumption on these devices when the device is
  9140. enabled, but the network link is down.
  9141. Resolve CQ23438 issue.
  9142.  
  9143. 2. Problem:
  9144. CQ23551 Disable GPHY DLL power-down on 5752M, 5754M,
  9145. 5755M, and 5787M Devices.
  9146. Cause:
  9147. Same problem as CQ23438 would occur for the listed devices.
  9148. A non recoverable Read DMA error occurs in this test scenario,
  9149. due to NIC's internal core clock being automatically slowed down
  9150. by logic in the device when the GPHY DLL is automatically powered
  9151. down when CAT 5 cable is disconnected.
  9152. The GPHY DLL automatically gets powered down and NIC's internal
  9153. core clock gets slowed down when the CAT 5 cable disconnected,
  9154. this is an intended design power saving feature.
  9155. Unfortunately, the slowed down of the core-clock causes Read DMA
  9156. error, which resulted in the system failed to acquire the IP address
  9157. via DHCP.
  9158. Change:
  9159. Modified driver code to Not Enable the GPHY DLL Auto-Power-Down
  9160. feature of hardware for all 5752M, 5754M, 5755M, 5787M Devices.
  9161. Impact:
  9162. Higher power consumption on these devices when the device is
  9163. enabled, but the network link is down.
  9164. Resolve CQ23551 issue.
  9165.  
  9166. 3. Problem:
  9167. NDIStester 6.5 Offloadchecksum failure on 5715/14/80 devices.
  9168. Cause:
  9169. The driver mistakenly enables pseudo header checksum on
  9170. 5714/5715/5780 devices.
  9171. Change:
  9172. Made change to the code so that 5714/5715/5780 devices will
  9173. not calculate pseudo header checksum on TX path.
  9174. Impact:
  9175. Passed NDIStestv6.5.
  9176.  
  9177. Version 9.6 March 3, 2006
  9178. Merged from 9.4.1.x branch
  9179. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  9180. 1. Problem:
  9181. 1516254 Broadcom: b57nd60a / b57nd60x: 0x9F during stress:
  9182. DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
  9183. 1523492 Broadcom: b57nd60a/b57nd60x: drivers fails to send
  9184. complete packets causing multiple issues.
  9185. Cause:
  9186. A race conditions in LM_EnableInterrupt and UM_Reset enables
  9187. interrupt twice. It causes interrupt being re-enabled after
  9188. DPC had disabled it.
  9189. Change:
  9190. Have the LM_EnableInterrupt sync with ISR and test if interrupt
  9191. is unmasked before enabling interrupt.
  9192. Impact:
  9193. Resolved MSFT reported 1516254 and 1523492 on CTP release.
  9194.  
  9195. 2. Problem:
  9196. 1502715 Broadcom: b57nd60a.sys: v9.5.0.0: X64_0xD1_W_b57nd60a!
  9197. MM_IndicateRxPackets+32b: miniport is indicating packets
  9198. up when OID_GEN_CURRENT_PACKET_FILTER is not set
  9199. Cause:
  9200. The UM_Restart routine turns on the OkToIndicate flags without
  9201. testing the current packet filter. NDIS clears packet filter
  9202. when pausing a miniport. When Miniport gets restarted, NDIS does
  9203. not expect miniport to indicate any RX packet until it turns on
  9204. the packet filter.
  9205. Change:
  9206. Do not set OkToIndicatePackets when restarting miniport.
  9207. Impact:
  9208. Resolved MSFT reported 1502715 on CTP release.
  9209.  
  9210. 3. Problem:
  9211. 1513694 Broadcom: b57nd60x.sys "\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Sent/sec"
  9212. counter 0 for Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (NDIS6.0).
  9213. Cause:
  9214. Driver doesn't fully support OID_GEN_STATISTICS.
  9215. Change:
  9216. Implemented OID_GEN_STATISTICS as required.
  9217. Impact:
  9218. Resolved MSFT reported 1513694 on CTP release.

  9364. Version 9.0 January 10, 2006
  9365. ----------------------------------------
  9366. 1. Initial release.
  9367.  
  9368. Overall:
  9369. This initial release of BRCM NetExtreme NDIS 6.0 Driver was tested to
  9370. perform the best with Microsoft Longhorn (Vista) Beta build version 5270,
  9371. and all tests were performed using MSFT NDIS Test 6.0.6.
  9372.  
  9373. Although this version (9.0) of BRCM NetExtreme NDIS 6.0 Driver had encountered
  9374. some problems during testing, but we believe most of the problems are MSFT
  9375. Longhorn (Vista) OS and/or NDIS Test tool related.
  9376.  
  9377. BRCM is actively engaged with MSFT regarding the "known issues", and are
  9378. working with MSFT in driving the resolutions.
  9379.  
  9380. This BRCM NetExtreme NDIS 6.0 Driver support BRCM NetExtreme chip family
  9381. starting from BCM5703, 5704, CIOB-E, 5705, 5751, 5752, 5754, 5755, 5787,
  9382. 5714, 5715, HTLE and derivatives. This NDIS 6.0 Driver removed the support
  9383. for BCM 5700, 5701 and 5702 chips.
  9384.  
  9385. Known issues:
  9386. CQ13764: DPC timeout -- LH 5216.vbl_ndt_netio DPC watchdog timeout with
  9387. b57xp32 on the stack (reported by MSFT).
  9388. CQ22245: DPC timeout -- 5751C1 freezes OS when IPV6 Chariot traffic is
  9389. applied
  9390. CQ22290: DPC timeout -- Running Chariot IPV6 stress traffic causes OS to
  9391. lock-up when LSO is disabled
  9392. CQ22305: DPC timeout -- 5787mA1 cannot complete NDIS6 tester
  9393. 2c_mini6Performance.wsf test script
  9394.  
  9395. Note: DPC timeout is an OS issue where the newly introduced
  9396. DPC watchdog in Windows Vista mistakenly flags the driver 30
  9397. seconds timeout at DISPATCH level. MSFT is actively
  9398. looking into this issue.
  9399.  
  9400. CQ22282: NDIS6 tester exhibits runtime script error when
  9401. 2c_mini6RSSSendRecv is executed
  9402. This appears to be a test kit issue, MSFT is looking into this.
  9403. It only affects 5755 devices.
  9404.  
  9405. CQ22299: 5755A1 Receive Side Scaling (RSS) does not work
  9406. This was caused the "indirection table" set by protocol
  9407. stacks in the Longhorn (Vista) OS.
  9408.  
  9409. CQ22468: NDIS 6 LSO for IPv4 Does Not Appear to Work Based on Performance
  9410. over CPU Utilization Measurements
  9411. Under investigation.
  9412.  
  9413. CQ14642: NDIS6 wake on LAN does not work for any sleep states
  9414. This is an OS issue.
  9415.  
  9416.  
  9417.
