Problem Solution

Team configuration is not retained when user goes back to edit.

In configuring Advanced Server Features teams, the actual changes of the configuration is not committed until the user click “OK” in “Network Properties” window. If a user chooses not click OK and instead goes back to the Advanced Server Features team configuration window, all the previous uncommitted changes will be lost and the user will need to re-enter the configurations. As a workaround, the user should always click OK in the Network Properties window after making changes.

IP address is configurable on a member of the team.

When a team is created, the TCP/IP properties for the adapters are unselected. The user can manually select and configure TCP/IP properties of the adapters and configure an IP address. This is a limitation of the Windows 2000 network installation paradigm, where this invalid configuration is still allowed.

When creating 64 VLANs, all virtual adapters show disconnected or one of the 64 VLANs show disabled.

The maximum VLAN configurations are 63 tagged and one untagged VLAN ID 0. If 64 tagged VLANs are created, they are disconnected. A reboot is required and only 63 tagged VLANs show links, while a 64th is disabled.

Problem Solution

Enabling the Flow-Control on the network adapter does not function.

The enabling Flow-Control feature does not work as expected. When the flow control is enabled on the switch and enabled on the network adapter, it seems to function correctly. But when the Flow-control is enabled on the network adapter and disabled on the switch, it does not function correctly.

Compiling the driver fails under	Ensure the full 2.2.18 source tree is installed. The source for 2.2.18 may be installed by installing
SuSE's 7.1.	the lx_sus22.rpm package (provided on CD or from SuSE's FTP site). The 2.4.0 source may be
	installed by installing the lx_sus24.rpm package in situations where the installation process did
	not automatically provide the source. Note that the user may need to resolve dependency and
	package conflict issues in the process of installing these packages. Also note, that the user will
	need to have the appropriate C compilers and binaries installed as usual. Once the source is
	installed, the user will need to copy over the following configuration files to the appropriate
	locations in the source tree:
	/boot/vmlinuz.config, /boot/vmlinuz.version.h
	/boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h
	cp /boot/vmlinuz.config /usr/src/linux-2.2.18.SuSE/.config

	cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux-2.2.18.SuSE/include/linux/autoconf.h
	A rebuild of the source tree is recommended.
