			Release notes for
	   DC21X4.COM Novell ODI Client driver V3.00
	   -----------------------------------------

New features and modifications:
        - Added CardBus support.
          The driver can work with a 21143 based CardBus board. The driver
          works with Card and Socket Services.

Limitations:
 - With a CardBus adapter the keyword :
        TX_THRESHOLD 1
   need to be added to net.cfg configuration file.

 - To work with a CardBus adapter, the card must be inserted before loading
   the driver.

 - To remove a CardBus adapter from the socket, the user should stop working
   with the network and pull out the adapter.

 - To unload a CardBus adapter driver , the user need remove the adapter from
   the socket then unload the driver, after that the user need to insert the
   adapter before loading the driver again.

   This Intel CardBus driver was tested with the following :

		-----------------------------------------

New features and modifications:

    - Added support for dual port autosensing.
      The driver switches beetwin RJ45 and BNC/AUI in powerup & runtime.

    - The driver checks, if the PCI bios, enabled the device IO space access bit,
	when the bit is off, the driver will issue an appropriate error message
 	and will not load.

			Release notes for
		DC21X4.COM Novell ODI Client driver V2.61
		-----------------------------------------

New features and modifications:

    - Added support for 4K SROM.
      The driver reads and parses Nic specific data from an SROM connected to
      the 21X4 chip. This SROM used to be a 1K bit in size, the driver now supports
      reading both 1Kbit and 4Kbit sized SROMs.

    - Fixed a bug when selecting 100Base-TX Full duplex medium from MII PHY.
      The bug caused the 21X4 chip to be in Half-Duplex while the PHY worked
      in Full-Duplex mode.

    - Fixed a bug when writing CFLT value to the CFLT register.
      The bug caused the rest CAL value also resident in this register to be lost
      which prevented the driver from enabling the extended PCI commands (Performance
      issue only).


Limitations:

   This 21x4 driver had passed the following tests:

			Release notes for
		DC21X4.COM Novell ODI Client driver V2.60
		-----------------------------------------

New features and modifications:

    - The Driver now supports enabling of Extended PCI commands,
      (the commands new as of PCI spec 2.1), for those 2104x/2114x
      devices which support the commands.
      Enabling the commands may increase PCI or CardBus throughput depending on 
      the system implementation.
      As a default, the driver will enable the maximum possible number of
      the three Extended PCI Commands,
   	Memory Write Invalidate (MWI);
	Memory Read Line (MRL);
	Memory Read Multiple (MRM);
      After verifying that the system implementation (PCI bridge chipset and BIOS) 
      supports it.

      The devices for which the commands will be enabled:
	21140A rev >= 21 ,
   	21143 rev >= 20.

      Due to incompatibility problems with certain PCI host bridges and PCI-to-PCI bridges, 
      the driver currently does not enable the Memory Write Invalidate (MWI) and 
      Memory Read Line (MRL) commands simultaneously. The driver will only enable one of
      the two commands; by default, MRL will be enabled.

      The driver has 3 new keywords (EXT_MWI, EXT_MRM, and EXT_MRL). These
      keywords enable and disable the operation of the respective Extended
      PCI Commands, to allow user override; in no case will an invalid combination 
      be allowed.

   - Fixed bug in parsing SROM version 4.0 when no magic packet (TradeMark of AMD)
     block is present. 

   - Increased the maximum Post reset delay time for MII devices from 5mSec to 500mSec
     in order to support MII devices which have a long reset processing time (MII
     spec defines this time to be 500mSec at most).


Limitations:
