Patches which may conflict with this patch: Obsoleted by: Files included with this patch: if_tr.o, if_tr_subr.o Problem Description: BUG-ID 1125936 In most cases, when the Sun machine running idle, the TRS/I does not respond to the broadcast. It consistently responds to the broadcast when the "etherfind" program is running. It also responds to the broadcast when the trace program by Netmetrix is Netmetrix is running. Only in one occasion, we saw the TRI/S responded to the broadcast when the Sun machine was running idle (no application were running). The "etherfind" trace does not show the broadcast frame from the PS/2 (10:0:5a:a c:7a:88)machine. Note : Before installing this patch, user should load patch 100835-02 first. INSTALL: 1. copy the patch into your directory. cd to the OS rev and architecture of your target system. # cd //`arch -k` 2. # mv /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/if_tr.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/if_tr.o.prev # mv /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/if_tr_subr.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/if_tr_subr.o.prev copy the //`arch -k` files into the appropriate directory # cp if_tr.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ # cp if_tr_subr.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ 3. go to your kernel's directory (assuming it's called TOKEN) and make your new kernel. # cd /sys/`arch -k`/TOKEN # make 4. start using the new kernel: backup your present kernel, here the suffix .old is used but please feel free to use your own suffix. # mv /vmunix /vmunix.TR.prev copy the new kernel into the root directory # cp /sys/`arch -k`/TOKEN/vmunix /vmunix reboot using the new vmunix # reboot Note: The object files included are: 4.1.2/sun4c Hopefully, the SS10 objects should work equally well on Galaxy running either 4.1.2 or 4.1.3.
