Cause:
Request for improvement.
Change:
Merged XP and Win2K and WinMe install inf files into new b44win.inf file.
Win98SE and Win98 however still have to use separate install inf file b44win98.inf
since they cannot use unified inf with XP install section.
Prior driver binary 4.25 is used for quick WHQL inf update procedure and driver signing.
Impact:

Impact:
New event logging behavior for 4401 Windows 2000 OEM installations.
Version 4.24 (May 13, 2004)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8807)
4401: Adjust error accounting to be in line w/ 5705
Cause:
Driver included Undersized Packet count in RX Error count statistic OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR.
Change:
Driver changed to exclude Undersized Packets for RX Error statistic OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8807 issue.
2. Problem (CQ#9374)
4401: Drivers force setting of BUS MASTER control bit
Cause:
Older system BIOS may not set PCI Bus Master Enable in PCI Common Configuration Command.
Change:
Driver changed to read and set PCI Bus Master in PCI Common Configuration Command.
Impact:
Correct CQ#9374 issue.
3. Problem (CQ#9875)
4401-B0: wake-up from S3 shows link even when LAN cable is removed
Cause:
Old connection status left in the PHY when it was powered down.
Change:
Driver changed to implement a Reset PHY prior to power down of PHY.
Impact:
Correct CQ#9875 issue.
4. Problem (CQ#9990 part 1)
4401: When "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" was
unchecked; the mapped network drive would be missing after wakeup
from Hibernate.
Cause:
The 4401 PHY was turned off for power savings and would not keep proper
connection status when it was turned back on.
Change:
Added PHY Reset prior to turning off the PHY; for proper connection status
once it has been turned back on
Impact:
Correct CQ#9990 first issue.
5. Problem (CQ#9990 part 2)
4401: Very large TX and RX statistics after resume from S3/S4 sleep.
Cause:
The chip statistics counters needed to be cleared whenever the 4401 is
transitioned from low power to full power state.
Change:
Added clearing of 4401 chip statistics counters upon getting command from
Operating System to go to full power.
Impact:
Correct CQ#9990 second issue.
6. Problem (CQ#9990 part 3)
4401: Slow file transfers when system is woken up from Hibernate sleep.
Cause:
The 4401 was doing partial chip reset upon power up from Hibernate sleep;
which resulted in Receive FIFO getting overrun. This condition needed to be
handled and cleared by the 4401 driver; which resulted in slow transfers.
Change:
Modified 4401 wakeup initialization procedure to perform full chip reset, and
verified that the the Receive FIFO overruns do not occur.
Impact:
Correct CQ#9990 third issue.
7. Enhancement Request
4401: Implement custom Information and Warning Driver logging for OEM.
Change:
Modified 4401 XP install inf and Driver to perform the requested custom logging.
Impact:
New event logging behavior for 4401 XP OEM installations.
Version 4.23 (September 26, 2003)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8525)
4401: OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR - remove fragmented packets
Cause:
Driver included Packet fragment count in RX Error count statistic OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR.
Change:
Driver changed to exclude Packet fragment count for RX Error statistic OID_GEN_RCV_ERROR.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8525 issue.
Version 4.22 (September 23, 2003)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8479)
4401-B0: HP INF file references to project names
Cause:
Driver installation inf file had project names.
Change:
Removed project names from driver installation inf file.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8479 issue.
Version 4.21 (September 22, 2003)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8499)
4401: Rx Symbol Error when connected to Fujitsu LH 1108C HUB during
file transfers resulting into low performance throughput.
Cause:
The 4401 PHY hardware reports RX Symbol Errors due to collisions.
These RX Symbol Errors can be ignored because the CRC Check is the
ultimate decision maker if a packet should be dropped or not.
This can be considered a software workaround to remedy operations with
particular HUBs that are not compliant to IEEE Specifications.
Change:
A Registry key has been created for accepting packets that have been flagged
by PHY hardware with RX Symbol Error condition. The default behavior is to implement
this Software workaround.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8499 issue.
2. Problem (CQ#8502)
4401: Rx Symbol Error Accounting
Cause:
Due to CQ 8499 we had to modify driver error accounting.
Change:
Modified Driver to account for RX fragmented packets for RX total error statistics.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8502 issue.
Version 4.20 (September 19, 2003)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8392)
4401: PME Enable setting in conjunction with WOL
Cause:
Request to reduce power consumption during low power to zero amps.
Change:
Driver enables PowerManagementEnable (PME) when WOL is not "None"
in the Advanced Properties of 4401; and Windows "Allow this device to Wake up..."
is also set.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8392 issue.
Version 4.19 (September 18, 2003)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8482)
4401-B0: WinXP - 'Allow only management stations ...' doesn't stick
when Advanced option was set to Magic Packet
Cause:
For 4401-B0 Driver was not reporting Magic Packet support during service
of OID_PNP_CAPABILITIES.
Change:
Corrected Driver handling of OID_PNP_CAPABILITIES for B0 chip.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8482 issue.
Version 4.18 (September 18, 2003)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8472)
4401 B0 does not show 'Both' in Wakeup capabilities in Win 98/Me

Change:
Corrected Driver installation inf file for proper 4401 B0 WOL support.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8472 issue.
2. Problem (CQ#8479)

in the Advanced Properties of 4401; and Windows "Allow this device to Wake up..."
is also set.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8392 issue.
Version 4.16 (September 15, 2003)
--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8463)
4401 B0 failed to wake up with MagicPacket when local administered address
advanced option was set to a custom value.
Cause:
4401 Driver was always using permanent address to setup MagicPacket WOL instead
of the optional local administered address.
Change:
4401 Driver was modified to use local administered address if set; or use permanent
address if local administered is not specified.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8463 issue.

Change:
Modified 4401 Driver to wait maximum of 3.9 seconds and then complete the above
OID when cable has been disconnected and link was not established.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8325 issue.
2. Problem (CQ#8358)

Impact:
Correct CQ#8224 issue.
2. Problem (CQ#8178)
CQ#8178 4401: CRC RX Error Statistics reported was not as expected.
4401: Private Statistics reported during OID:
T3_OID_GET_STATISTICS_COUNTERS not accumulative.
Cause:
4401 Driver reported sum of two CRC error counters with same value, resulting
in CRC count that was twice as actual errors.
4401 Driver during handling of OID: T3_OID_GET_STATISTICS_COUNTERS
did not use the "accumulative" method of keeping and reporting of statistics.

Cause:
4401 always generated 802.1p Priority marked packets, when its Advanced Option was
set to Enable 802.1p.
Change:
Modified driver to generate 802.1p Priority marked packets only when packet priority
is non zero; per Windows XP Device Driver Kit documentation.
Impact:
Same 8021.p Priority Tagging as Broadcom 570x Adapters.

CQ#7806 - 4401: IP address gets lost after changing from 10HDX->AUTO->100HDX
Cause:
4401 Driver was taking longer than 3 seconds to respond to OID_GEN_MEDIA_CONNECT_STATUS;
which caused Microsoft NDIS component "QoS Packet Scheduler" to disable IP address of 4401.
Change:
Modified driver to respond to OID_GEN_MEDIA_CONNECT_STATUS quicker,
by increasing the frequency of Phy Link status check.
Impact:
Resolve connectivity issues CQ#8027, CQ#7976, CQ#7806

--------------
Fixes:
=========
1. Problem (CQ#7796)
4401: BACS Diagnostics does not finish MAC- LoopBack test at 10 Half Duplex.

when Network Cable was disconnected. Part of Microsoft Workaround
for Pushing Policy issue.
Change:
4401 driver pends this request and determines link connection status first
and then indicates results to caller of OID_GEN_MEDIA_CONNECT_STATUS.
Impact:
Improve boot time and resolve this issue.
2. Problem (CQ#7700)
4401: NDIS Tester 3.91 failure in function 1c_ginfo.leth
Cause:
4401 Initial report for OID_GEN_MEDIA_CONNECT_STATUS was Link Up
when Network Cable was disconnected. Part of Microsoft Workaround

Impact:
Proper operation with Dell 5224 switch at 100Half and DHCP mode.
2. Problem (CQ#7606)
Operating System crash while running BACS diagnostics and pinging out in Windows NT 4.
Cause:
