     be occasionally reported as bad_crc32

2) Add selectable failover strategy for dual-port chip: symmetric or primary/backup

3) pcie-2.0 additions for pcie-2.0 compliance

4) Switch to NoSoftReset=1 behavior on D3hot->D0 (to avoid problem on some Windows platform).

5) Add Function-Level-Reset (optional PCIe feature)


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.44 (June 8th, 2009)
-----------------------

Eeprom version (add atmel eeprom init)


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.43 (May 27th, 2009)
-----------------------

1) Fix a bug when ECRC checking is enabled (so far problem has been
  triggered with IBM X3 architecture with OSes enabling ecrc), which
  would cause some spurious ecrc errors to be reported.

2) Fix a bug that can cause the NIC to stop receiving in a
  Windows/NDIS multi-slice configuration with heavy loads of small
  packets.


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.42 (March 31st, 2009)

Eeprom version for 10G-PCIE*-8B-* (use reliable serdes settings).


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.39 (January 20th, 2009)
-----------------------

1) Fix a bug introduced in 1.4.37 which could lead to
  incorrect IP checksums in TSO packets when drivers use TSO mode 1
  (which is used only by Solaris and Windows).  No firmware
  distributed with those drivers was affected.

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.38 (December 18th, 2008)
-----------------------

1) Use smaller read-speed for new NICs with 1MB eeproms.

   (never observed in any supported OS)

2) Fix a bug that would cause the revision-id for -8B NIC to change
   upon handoff

3) Add support for dual-chip NIC (10G-PCIE2-xxx)

4) Add i2c/smbus general-purpose interface so host can 
  access all transceiver info and more easily.
  Make sure myri10ge special-purpose interface is available on both 
   'S' and 'R' (SFP+ and XFP).

5) Use 6dB preemphasis on QSFP cards to support QSFP copper-cables

6) Big eeprom-reprogramming speed improvement on 8B NICs.

7) More power-saving items on 8B NICs.

8) For PHY where the transceivers is kept up (quad/QSFP/CX4), send
  REMOTE-FAULT notification when interface is down (rather than
   unaligned COMMA stream)

9) Add PCI-VPD capability for identification purposes.

10) Add new optional command that allows the driver to provide
  unaligned buffers in rx-rings (with a trade-off in perf)


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.36 (October 14th, 2008)

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

1) Support for 10G-PCIE-8B NICs

2) Add option for Open-MX specific hashing to multi-queue firmware

3) multi-slice firmware: fix a bug when the presence of 32-bit or
 64-bit addresses for interrupt queues and data is not uniform across
 slices


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.32 (July 29, 2008)
-----------------------

1) Minor changes for strict pcie-1.1 compliance (more pcie test suites)

2) Support multiple send queues as well as receive queues (netq firmware)

3) Handle TSO on tagged VLANs


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.31 (April 14, 2008)
-----------------------

1) Add support for DCA

2) Use relaxed-ordering by default (unless explicitely disabled by config-space)

3) Improves automatic selection between ethp_z8e/eth_z8e
    (eth_z8e is better for almost all chipsets except E7520)

4) Refuse ethernet initialization on misnegotiated pcie-link


5) Initialize Quake i2c burst mode 16 (was defaulting to 256) for compliance
    with XFP-MSA spec and all XPF brand (i2c is only used for diagnostics).
 

6) Minor pcie-1.1 spec config-space changes (only relevant for pcie test suites)

Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3i


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.30 (February 11, 2008)
-----------------------

1) For eeprom usage, modification to low-level pcie initialization to fix:
   * pcie-link occasionally negotiating with suboptimal width
      (x1/x2/x4 sometimes seen were x8 was expected),
   * NIC rarely not initializating in pcie-2.0 (5GT/s-able) slots.

2) Add partial-write counter to analyze host write-combining properties.


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.29 (January 2, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Increase an internal timing (dispatch engine): fix possible spurious reset
   (seen on very few cards).

Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3g

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.28 (December 20, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Fix support for AEL1010-based cards.

2) Add "relaxed-ordering" variant of multi-slice firmware.

3) Make sure MSI-X works even with some buggy Linux version that don't mask
    the interrupt while updating the MSI-X vector.

4) When using "relaxed-ordering", make use of it during initial DMA benchs.


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.27 (December 12, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Add support for new revisions of -R cards (with AEL1002/AEL1010 xaui->xfi)

2) Add MXGEFW_CMD_SET_THROTTLE_FACTOR to fix a maximum tx speed for the NIC


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.26 (October 30, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Fix a bug introduced in 1.4.20 where speculative read by the processor in the
   write-only doorbell region would cause a target-abort (as opposed to simply
   returning random data). This could manifest itself as NMI or machine freeze
   depending on how the BIOS/OS/chipset configuration handles target-abort.

2) Fix a bug in MSI-X processing (no released driver was using that feature yet)

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.25 (August 17, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Add ipv6 TSO support

2) Add MDIO command to allow driver to access Quake (xaui-xfi converter) chip on -R cards.

3) If the host stops consuming for too long, starts dropping packets rather than 
   indefinitely blocking the rx path with flow-control. That protects the network
   in the case of host crash.

4) Add new commands to allow the driver to access the XFP "i2c" tables on -R cards.

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.24 (August 12, 2007)
-----------------------

Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3g

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

1) For eeprom usage, combine with etherboot PCI-ROM ether5.4.3e.

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.21 (June 6, 2007)
-----------------------

1) On -R cards, fix bug that might cause laser to stay off when downgrading
  to firmware version <= 1.4.15 (happens when older driver is loaded):
  Versions between 1.4.16 and 1.4.20 would leave laser off when handoff'ing to
  another firmware, firmware <= 1.4.15 would never turn it back on.
  
2) Fix problem with 1.4.20 which would refuse any runtime firmware downgrade.
 We now allow any firmware downgrade compatible with pci-conf-space layout
  (defined by eeprom contents at last fundamental reset).
  
3) For eeprom usage, combine with etherboot PCI-ROM ether5.4.3d

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.20 (June 3, 2007)
-----------------------

   pcie in-band hot-reset (no known platform match that description)

2) Runs on NICs with MSI-X support in eeprom

3) Make the NIC compliant with PCI-e 1.1 (upgrade from 1.0a)


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.19 (May 23, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Make firmware usable as eeprom firmware (1.4.17 and 1.4.18 are only
  suitable as runtime loaded firmware).


Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.18 (May 17, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Optionally support new rx ring allocation strategy for big buffers

2) Increase tx send ring to 16K

3) Fix for harmless pcie compliance issue: when enabled, make sure a
   correctable error message is sent to the pcie hierarchy for replay-timer 
   and replay-rollover events.

4) Support NICs with Completion-Timeout extentions enabled in eeprom.

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.17 (April 27, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Add individual counters for "pause" packets and "unicast_filtered"

2) Detect and report when NIC is plugged into a Myrinet fabric

3) Ensure optimized firmware is reported as compatible with 631xESB southbridge

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.16 (April 23, 2007)
-----------------------

1) While interface is down, xaui port now emits a stream of K28.5
  symbols to prevent incorrect signal-tuning when plugged in a xg-fujitsu 700

2) Add invidual firmware counters for bad_crc32 and bad_phy frames

3) On R-cards, turn laser-off when interface is down

Transparent for end-user (change affect driver writers only):
4) Add ability to auto-detect aligned chipset in cooperation with
   driver (avoid the need for driver whitelist)
5) Remove the need for driver initiated "dummy_rdma"
   (mcp automatically works around pcie-retransmit bug in some chipsets
    by forcing spurious nak).

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.15 (March 24, 2007)
-----------------------

Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3c

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.14 (March 20, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Allows capture of Reserved Ethernet packets 01:80:c2:00:00:0X through multicast-filter
   (previously available only in promiscuous mode)
2) Fix rare spurious of pcie-TLP retransmit (was completely harmless and invisible to the host)

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.13 (March 13, 2007)
-----------------------

1) fix for special debug/diagnostic mode with BAR2 access (irrelevant for end-user)

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.12 (February 7, 2007)
-----------------------

1) By default, disable the 20us firmware pause every 50ms (JTAG access).
2) Use  maximum TLP size of 256 when doing wdma.
3) fix broadcast rx problem with adopted firmware

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.11 (January 9, 2007)
-----------------------

1) Ensure -0 is never used in the ipv4 header checksum field (TSO case)
 Known receivers don't distinguish between +0 and -0, but
 RFC1624 recommends to be safe.

Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.10 (December 5, 2006)
-----------------------

BUG FIXES
1) Fix capability inheritance bug upon firmware loading
   bug was introduced between 1.4.7 and 1.4.8
