Patch 103244

2007-12-25 9:56:00

Question: Could someone send additional information regarding Solaris

2.5 patch 103244. "FTP neutron Patch"

Summary:

        Apparently "neutron" was a SUN codename for one of the new

        Ultra Sparc models. Someone suggested it was model 140.

        (I'll be vague here since there could be concerns of

        nondisclosue although since Ultras are shipping it seems

        kinda moot to me)

        The patch description was not very informative but the gist

        of the patch involves updating the le0 driver in ALL Sun

        machines running Solaris 2.5. It is not limited to just

        Ultra's but since an Ultra was the first machine to

        acknowledge the bug that was the machine listed in the patch

        description.

        Again, this patch should be applied to Suns running Solaris

        2.5. If you notice problems with your ethernet interface

        hanging on a reboot then this is probably the patch for you.
