                               Release Notes
                     Broadcom BCM5700 Unixware 7 driver
                                03/30/2001


Introduction
============

This file describes the Unixware 7 driver for Broadcom's BCM5700 10/100/1000
Mbps Ethernet Network Interface Controller.


Driver Software Package
=======================

The driver is released as a TAR file containing the set of object,
configuration, and script files used to create the driver add-on package.


Creating Package
================

1. On a Unixware system, create a directory for the package and cd to it.

2. Untar the TAR file using tar xvf bcme-<version>.tar.

3. To create a package on floppy, where the package can be installed on the
same system or other systems, use pkgtrans -s <path> diskette1, where
<path> is the directory where the TAR file was untarred in step 2.

4. To directly install the package on the same system, use pkgadd -d <path>,
where <path> is the directory where the TAR file was untarred in step 2.


Installing Driver
=================

Use pkgadd -d diskette1 to install the bcme package created on floppy in step 3
above. After the package is installed, use netcfg or scoadmin network to
add the new network adapter. When prompted, choose the line speed and select
Advanced option for Flow Control and MAC Address settings if desired. The
different settings of these parameters are listed below:

    Line Speed:      Auto Negotiation (default)
                     10 Mbps half duplex
                     10 Mbps full duplex
                     100 Mbps half duplex
                     100 Mbps full duplex
                     1000 Mbps full duplex*

    Flow Control:    Disabled (default)
                     Auto Negotiation** (Symmetric Pause advertised)
                     Receive Pause
                     Transmit Pause
                     Receive & Transmit Pause

    MAC Address:     No Override (default)
                     a user administered MAC address entered with a colon
                     separating each hexadecimal byte, e.g.
                     12:34:56:78:9a:bc

    Jumbo MTU Size:  1500 - 9000 (default is 1500)


*Note that 1000 Mbps (1Gbps) full duplex fixed speed is only valid for fibre
connections. For copper twisted pair connections, 1 Gbps can only be set
through auto negotiation with a 1 Gbps link partner.

**Note that auto negotiation of flow control is only valid when the line
speed is set to auto negotiation.
