EISA FDDI 10.20: New Defect Fixes

Besides the above patch ﬁxes, this release also has:

1. Fix for IOVR leak in the EISA FDDI driver during a card reset.

2. The fddiif and fddilink commands have been enhanced to support

writing their output to a ﬁle. A ‘-o’ option has been added to both the

commands.

3. After a card reset, multicast addresses enabled previously were not

reloaded. This has been ﬁxed.

In this release these are no longer treated as inbound errors.

4. Fix to not hold spinlock around call to copyout.

2. When an attempt is made to change

the MAC address of the card using

lanadmin(1M), the link becomes

unusable for up to 10 seconds and the

MAC address remains unchanged.

2, The MAC address of the card cannot

be changed. Users were not prevented

from attempting to do this.

3. DLPI applications that use

hierarchical sub-binding to SNAP

SAPs other than IP or ARP may

sometimes receive packets not meant

for them from the EISA FDDI link.

3. The driver forwarded SNAP packets

that were neither IP nor ARP to all

applications registered with SNAP

SAPs other than IP or ARP.
