 * Set additional firmware option bit 10 for 2Gb Host Bus Adapter so 
   the firmware waits for the task management command, (such as reset 
   LUN to complete.) 
 * Host Bus Adapter does not re-login to target after target sends
   LOGO to Host Bus Adapter. [Closed OPT226506]
 * The link status behaves differently between QLE2460 and QLA2342.
   [ER44735 closed]
 * Incorrect HwVersion string is reported by QLogic 
   IHV HBA_GetAdapterAttributes call. [ER45228 closed]
 * Event Id 11 entries logged by ql2300 at offset x10
   and offset x34 do not match the Error Codes published on the Web. 
   Because the miniport uses Microsoft's Storport.sys driver to 
   actually log the error event, and it has been confirmed that the 
   storport.sys driver logs the event incorrectly. A bug has been 
   reported to Microsoft on this: SRX041110604850 (STORport—Incorrect 
   event data is logged when storport's storportlogerror). Meanwhile, 
   the Miniport driver is changed to log the event code at offset x10 
   by default. This workaround is controlled by the registry
   parameter mevtwrkaround. For details on this parameter, please
   see the readme file. [ER45230 closed]

Firmware (Embedded in Driver)
-----------------------------

The following lists show the changes and bug fixes to the firmware 
that is embedded in the drivers for the 4Gb Fibre Channel Adapters 
and 8Gb Fibre Channel Adapters from versions 4.03.01 to 5.04.04.

From Version 5.04.02 to 5.04.04

Changes
-------
 * 2500 Series. Ensured that correct slot-specific SerDes settings
   will be used for specific mezzanine cards. [ER78047]

Bug Fixes
---------
None

From Version 5.04.01 to 5.04.02

Changes
-------
 * Current Fibre Channel Adapter firmware supports maximum frame 
   sizes of 512, 1024, and 2048 in the received PLOGI or PLOGI-ACC.
   This change provides an option to disable this restriction by 
   setting bit 6 of Firmware Options 2 through Set Additional
   Firmware Options Mailbox Command (038h). Note that this option
   bypasses the Maximum Transmit Data Frame Size set by the Set
   Transmit Parameters Mailbox Command (019h). [ER76448]

Bug Fixes
---------
None

From Version 5.04.00 to 5.04.01

Changes
-------
 * Option to Disable Automatic FDISC:
   Currently, the firmware automatically performs FDISC for enabled 
   virtual ports (VPs) upon receiving an FLOGI_ACC. This procedure 
   does not mesh well with driver architectures, which typically 
   control the FDISCs.
   A new option bit allows you to suppress the automatic FDISCs. This 
   option bit is available in both the ISP25xx and ISP81xx firmware. 
   Older firmware ignores this option bit.
   Functional Description:
   The Disable FDISC bit (multi-ID initialize firmware control block, 
   Global VP Options field, bit 4) disables the automatic FDISCs.
   If this bit is set, any VPs enabled in the multi-ID initialize
   firmware control block remain enabled, but the ID is not in the
   acquired state. The driver must issue a Modify Virtual Port 
   Configuration IOCB (with the Command field set to 3h) to instruct
   the firmware to transmit the FDISC after it receives the report
   ID acquisition (RIDA) for VP0.
   When Disable FDISC is set, no FDISC is transmitted for the enabled
   VPs on any event, which results in a FLOGI. The driver should
   issue a Modify Virtual Port Configuration IOCB (with the Command 
   field set to 3h) to instruct the firmware to transmit the FDISC 
   for a specific VP (after receiving the RIDA for VP0). The driver
   must instruct the firmware to transmit an FDISC for all enabled
   VPs. After all the FDISC is completed, the firmware state changes
   to ready. In addition, a Port Database Changed AEN (8014h), with
   the Outgoing Mailbox 1 register set to FFFFh and Outgoing 
   Mailbox 2 register set to 6h, is generated and passed to the
   driver. If the driver does not transmit FDISC for a VP, the 
   driver must disable that specific VP using Virtual Port Control
   IOCB (Entry Type field 30h). This step is needed because a VP
   is enabled, but the ID is not in the acquired state, which can
   prevent the firmware state from changing to ready, and prevent
   generation of the Port Database AEN as previously stated. 
   The option applies only to fabric point-to-point topology and
   NPIV environments. [ER74448]

 * Added option to disable PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit. To disable the PRLI 
   REC_SUPPORT bit (PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit is set by default), set
   bit 6 of the additional firmware option 3 of the Set Additional 
   Firmware Options (38h) Mailbox Commands). This option has to be 
   set prior to Initialize Firmware mailbox command (60h or 48h).
   [ER74764]

Bug Fixes
---------
 * Customer-specific fix. [ER74764]

 * 24xx/25xx MID. Fixes potential drops of PRLI request or firmware 
   incorrectly assigning multiple N_Port Handles for same Port_id.
   [ER73958]

From Version 5.03.00 to 5.04.00

Changes
-------
 * Customer-specific changes.[ER69516, ER70666, ER71711, ER71936,
   ER69589, ER70279, ER69620, ER71031, ER72037, ER73006]

 * 81xx only. Added Additional Firmware Options 2, bit 9 to improve
   NIC bandwidth when NIC and FCoE receive traffic are running
   concurrently. [ER69565]

 * 81xx/25xx MIDQ only. Provide capability in Queue Management (1Fh) 
   mailbox command to move a queue base address. For details, refer
   to the Multiple Queue Support for 2500 Series Fibre Channel and
   8100 Series Converged Network Adapter Controllers Applications
   Note. [ER69606]

 * 81xx only. Added support for LR Optics. Requires MPI FW 1.39.00
   or later with proper configuration files. [ER69613]

 * Added an Additional Firmware Options 3 bit to discard any frames 
   received out of order unless the Initialize Firmware Options 3
   bit 6 (Enable Receive Out-of-Order Data Frame Handling) is set
   to 1. Changes to Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) Mailbox
   Command interface:
   - Add to Additional Firmware Option 3 Bits (Incoming mailbox 3 
     register) Table: Bit 15 Do not transfer received out of 
     order data for an exchange to host memory (except during
     SRR recovery).
   - Replace bit_15 description with:
     Bit 15 (Do not transfer received out of order data for an
     exchange to host memory). When this bit is set to 1, the ISP
     firmware does not transfer received out-of-order data for an
     exchange to host memory, except during SRR recovery. A frame
     is considered "out-of-order" after a previously-received frame
     is dropped due to an error, as well as a true out-of-order 
     frame receipt condition.
   NOTE: Bit 15 is ignored when Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 6 
         (Enable Receive Out-of-Order Data Frame Handling) is set
         to 1.
   [ER70311]

 * 24xx/25xx only. Bit 8 of State Flags field in Status IOCB Type has 
   been changed from Reserved to "Unable to send OPN to Destination." 
   This bit is set when the destination device sends an immediate 
   CLS in response to an OPN from ISP. [ER71132]

 * Add option to disable the firmware automatic port login (PLOGI)
   to the simple name server (SNS). To enable this feature, set 
   Bit 15 of Additional Firmware Options 2 when issuing Set 
   Additional Firmware Options Mailbox Command 0038h. [ER71742]

 * 24xx SB2 only. Return the lower 16-bit of current RBC count in 
   Receive IU and Add Buffer IOCBs. This extends the scope of 
   ER68875 to include 24xx.
   - For IOCB type 0x4D, the lower 16-bit of the counter is stored
     at offset 0x3E to 0x3F.
   - For IOCB type 0x4C, the lower 16-bit is stored at offset 0x1C
     to 0x1D.
   [ER71764]

 * 81xx only. Added an Additional Firmware Options 2 bit to post all 
   Asynchronous IOCBs to the ATIO queue when target mode is enabled.
   Changes to Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) mailbox command 
   interface:
   - Add to Additional Firmware Option 2 Bits (Incoming mailbox 2 
     register) Table:
     Bit 11 Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue.
   - Replace bit 11 description with:
     Bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue). When this 
     bit is set to 1, the firmware posts all asynchronous IOCBs
     (PUREX, ABTS Received, and Report ID Acquisition) to the ATIO
     queue when target operation is enabled. Additionally, if a
     login-affecting ELS command (PLOGI, PRLI, PRLO, LOGO, ADISC,
     PDISC, or TPRLO) is passed up to the target driver, an 
     Immediate Notify IOCB with Status  Code 46h, Login affecting 
     ELS command received, shall not be sent. Initialize Firmware
     Options 3 bit 26 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for ATIO
     Queue) is used to request the firmware place an Ethernet Header
     Receive IOCB on the ATIO queue before each PUREX and ABTS 
     Received IOCB. Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 27
     (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for Response Queue) shall
     be ignored. When bit 11 is set to 0, the firmware posts 
     asynchronous IOCBs to queues specified in the ISP81xx firmware
     specification.
   Changes to Initialize Firmware, Firmware Options 3:
   - Bit 27 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for Response Queue). 
     When Additional Firmware Option 2 bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous 
     IOCBs to ATIO queue) is set, this bit is ignored.
   - Bit 26 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for ATIO Queue). 
     When Additional Firmware Option 2 bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous 
     IOCBs to ATIO queue) is set, and this bit is set, the firmware
     places an Ethernet Header Receive IOCB on the ATIO queue before
     each PUREX and ABTS Received IOCB.
   [ER71877]

 * MID only. Send LOGO if an FDISC is rejected with error/explanation 
   code 03/0D. After LOGO ACC is received, the firmware retries the 
   FDISC. [ER72460]

   IO when using DIF bundling. [ER70319]

 * 25xx and 81xx only. Corrected potential invalid PCIe access when 
   aborting a T10 CRC IO when using DIF bundling. [ER70558]

 * Corrected N_Port Handle assignment by firmware when Purex is
   enabled. [ER70575]

 * 81xx only. The firmware could incorrectly set bit 15 of N_Port
   Handle returned by the Get Port/Node Name List (75h) mailbox
   command. [ER70664]

 * 81xx only. Corrected a problem where the values supplied in the
   Set Timeout Parameters (32h) mailbox command were not honored.
   [ER70708]

 * Prevent 8002 system error when processing a severely malformed
   IOCB. [ER70910]

 * Corrected a RISC pause condition during SRR received notify ACK
   processing. [ER70921]

 * Customer-specific issues. [ER70970, ER71426, ER72657, ER71475]

 * 24xx only: Improved link init time when using Inline Credit 
   Extender in an N_Port-N_Port configuration. [ER71034]

 * Fixed Loopback mailbox command timeout when Fibre Channel event
   (FCE) extended tracing is enabled. [ER71269]

 * Corrected a problem that could result in a Task Management 
   command timeout. [ER72100]

   [ER72270]

 * 81xx only. Fix CTIO with terminate exchange bit returned good 
   completion status (01h) after the CTIO is already completed. 
   The CTIO with a terminate exchange bit should instead return an
   invalid receive exchange address (08h) completion status.
   [ER72491]

 * MID builds only. Fix CTIO with terminate exchange bit failed with 
   completion status=29h. [ER72571]

   the firmware when Virtual Port Control IOCB (type=30h) is used to
   enable VP. [ER72921]

 * MID only. Correct the cleanup of outstanding ELS requests during
   VP disable. [ER73048]

 * MID only. Resolve RISC pause after cable pull or link event.
   [ER73090]

   Initialize Firmware Mailbox Command (060h) or Initialize Firmware 
   Multiple IDs Mailbox Command (048h) specifies use of the optional 
   Extended Initialization Control Block and provide a length of zero 
   bytes. [ER65184]

 * 8100 only. Changed the Perform Implicit LOGO Mailbox Command 
   (072h) to allow the Perform Logout for All Ports across All 
   FCFs option (bit 1 of incoming Mailbox Register 1) in single FCF
   configurations. [ER65220]

Changes
-------
 * Customer-specific change. [ER60313, ER60909, ER61325, ER61654]

 * 2532 only. Added the ability to specify a maximum Fibre Channel
   Link speed to be negotiated. This feature is enabled by bit 12 of
   the Initialize Firmware Control Block’s Firmware Option 3. When

   from the given max speed specified by driver in bits 15-13 of the
   Initialize Firmware Control Block’s Firmware Options 3 field to
   two speeds down to what the SFP allowed.
   This option can also be set in the Data Rate Mailbox Command
   (05dh). When incoming mailbox 1 is set to 03h, firmware forces
   a loss of sync, restarts link initialization, and negotiates the
   FC data rate from the given max speed specified by driver in
   incoming mailbox 2 to two speeds down to what the SFP allowed.
