FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes
Patches and Fixes in Version B.10.20.11
7. The ‘Operation Status’ of the EISA
FDDI interface, as displayed by the
lanadmin(1M) command, is not
marked ‘down’ when there is a cable
disconnect.
7. The ifOper MIB variable, that is
displayed as the ‘Operation Status’ by
the lanadmin(1M) command, shows
the operational state of the interface.
The EISA FDDI driver did not update
the value of ifOper to ‘down’ when it
detected a cable disconnect.

Symptom Defect
1. The system panics with a data page
fault when many Input/Output (I/O)
cards are configured on a system with
EISA FDDI card/driver.
1. When multiple I/O cards are
configured it is possible that the
driver’s attempt t map its I/O buffer
fails. Under these conditions, when the
driver attempts to unmap these I/O
buffers, the system panics with a data
page fault.
2. NFS server daemons operating over
EISA FDDI hang, eventually followed
by a system hang.
2. When the driver fails to enqueue
packets for transmission (as was seen
under heavy NFS traffic), the driver
treats these packets as dropped.
However, it failed to free the buffers
for the packet. this resulted in kernel
memory leak, eventually leading to a
system hang.
