DESCRIPTION: 
Unpacks the files that contain drivers and documentation to support the range of server adapters listed above. This set of files is an 
electronic update of the Network Server Adapters and Upgrade Modules Software and Documentation CD that came with the server adapter. 

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:  

This release contains online PXE and Bootcode flash utilities for Windows and Linux OSs that allow the update of PXE and bootcode within 
the native OS without rebooting to DOS.

The drivers in this release no longer support Netelligent/NetFlex/TLAN NICs.

The Linux bonding driver in this release does not support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

The Linux bcm5700 driver in this release now builds on an SLES 7 base kernel.

The Linux e100 and e1000 driver text files in this release were updated for better understandability.

The Windows Q57 drivers fix a problem that can occur when transmitting highly fragmented pieces of data such as those used by Oblix and Java.

The DOS drivers in this release now support RFC1071 which allows you to communicate with a nother NIC that is calculating 
TCP checksums based on RFC1071.  This release resolves an issue with previous versions of the drivers where communication might hang or disconnect before completion
