Security: the rwhod buffer overflow patch that's been circulating lately Bug fix: The de driver doesn't work especially well with the SMC 9332 10/100 card. About one in ten times, it is initialized to some funny state at boot time that causes the fault light on its hub to flash and all the HP-UX boxes on that hub to shut down their network interfaces. The de driver swiped from from -current a few weeks ago and butchered so that compiles under -stable seems to work perfectly. Judging by some of the comments in that version of the driver, I suspect this problem may affect other cards with the DC21140. --- Truck
