//====================================================================== // ASIX AX88772/AX88772A Windows XP 32-bit driver // Revision History // // This document describes the major changes, additions and bug fixes made // to the driver between released versions. //====================================================================== Version 3.4.3.38 (2010-08-04) 1. Add EEPROM read/write IOCTL APIs. Version 3.4.3.37 (2010-05-31) 1. Use WDF instead of WDM. 2. Solve BSOD issue when plug device into NEC USB 3.0 adapter. 3. Fix the media setting when force link speed with external Ethernet PHY. 4. Decrease the RX bulkin buffer on USB1.1 interface. Because a large RX bulkin buffer will cause some issues on Windows 2000. 5. Modify the inf file. Let the driver only can be installed on Windows XP & 2000. Version 3.4.3.36 (2009-09-30) 1. Increase the RX bulkin buffer on USB1.1 interface. Version 3.4.3.35 (2009-09-03) 1. Move the TX flag cleared code from deregister function to link detect function. Version 3.4.3.34 (2009-09-03) 1. Don't deregister endpoints if there are pending IRPs. Version 3.4.3.33 (2009-08-25) 1. Fixed TX failure if unplug Ethernet cable and then plug Ethernet cable when network traffic is heavy. Version 3.4.3.32 (2009-08-14) 1. Added SPX's MVCI VID/PID (AX88772). 2. Used EEPROM offset 0x17 to select the power saving mode. 3. Modified the options of the "Connection Type" parameter to the same definition as AX88772A/AX88772 Windows 7 and Vista drivers. 4. Modified to solve the Ethernet sometimes link failure issue during Standby/Resume test when two AX88772A boards are connected directly. Version 3.4.3.31 (2009-06-18) 1. Add software multicast filter to pass WHQL test. Version 3.4.3.30 (2009-06-10) 1. Reduce CPU utilization. 2. Modify Ethernet PHY ON/OFF policy to solve some link issue with specific switch. 3. Add USB error handling policy to process specific USB error. 4. Manually cancel all pending IRPs when driver stop. 5. Add Nikoa's VID/PID (AX88772A). 6. Restore the PHY Select Register after resume from hibernate. Version 3.4.3.29 (2009-04-03) 1. Allocate new IRP for deregister endpoints function. Version 3.4.3.28 (2009-03-27) 1. Set the USB port check retry times to 3. Version 3.4.3.27 (2009-01-06) 1. Remove the filter driver since the WinXP Safely Remove list issue can be solved by BIOS. Version 3.4.3.26 (2008-12-26) 1. Add a filter driver, let AX88772/AX88772A device does not appear in safely remove list. 2. Add USB port check function when receive an USB error code. Version 3.4.3.25 (2008-11-18) 1. Sovle the stop problem of driver which is caused by plug in and plug out of other USB device in some platforms. 2. Add PHY ON/OFF sequence procedure. 3. Add DisplayLink USB bandwidth solution. 4. Add MSI's PID/VID (AX88772A). 5. Add USB port status check when wakeup to avoid some issues if device was removed when computer in sleep mode. Version 3.4.3.24 (2008-09-08) 1. Reduce the periodic holding time of CPU when Ethernet link down. Version 3.4.3.23 (2008-06-24) 1. Remove the modification in 3.4.3.20. Version 3.4.3.22 (2008-06-19) 1. Fix computer not wakeup when only select "Link Up" or "Magic Packet" Version 3.4.3.21 (2008-06-16) 1. Fix BSOD after resume from sleep mode. Version 3.4.3.20 (2008-06-04) 1. Turn off bulkin when link down. Version 3.4.3.19 (2008-04-21) 1. Fix force speed option error. 2. Enhance sleep procedure. 3. Enhance PHY initizlization. Version 3.4.3.18 (2007-09-21) 1. Fix wake-up pause frame issue Version 3.4.3.17 (2007-04-26) 1. AX88772/AX88772A combined driver. (New release for AX88772A) 2. Fix Toshiba UWB dock issue. 3. Change receive packet indicatation method for DTM test Note: ===== 1. The "Connection Type" parameter was modified to support the following options from v3.4.3.32 (same as AX88772A/AX88772 Windows 7/Vista drivers), "AutoSense" "10BaseT Half_Duplex" (i.e. Auto-negotiation enabled with 10BaseT Half_Duplex capability only) "10BaseT Full_Duplex" (i.e. Auto-negotiation enabled with 10BaseT Full_Duplex capability only) "100BaseTx Half_Duplex" (i.e. Auto-negotiation enabled with 100BaseTx Half_Duplex capability only) "100BaseTx Full_Duplex" (i.e. Auto-negotiation enabled with 100BaseTx Full_Duplex capability only) The "10BaseT Half_Duplex", "10BaseT Full_Duplex", "100BaseTx Half_Duplex" and "100BaseTx Full_Duplex" parameters are only for those advanced users that really know well the Auto-negotiation operation. For normal users, we suggest to use the "AutoSense" parameter directly. If users want to set the "10BaseT Half_Duplex", "10BaseT Full_Duplex", "100BaseTx Half_Duplex" or "100BaseTx Full_Duplex" parameter, please make sure the link partner was also support the same capability, otherwise you might not be able to establish a successful Ethernet connection.
