- SANA-II is SANA-II.
-
- I wonder what was in their patch to a2065.device. If anyone knows patch
- details, please let me know. Here is the patchlist for the a2065.device
- being shipped with I-Net 225:
-
- 3.2
- Patches to AbortIO and DClose:
-
- The recv-q protocol nexus was not being cleaned
- up properly after an abortio.
-
- The BufferManagement pointer was not being loaded
- properly, causing the wrong StackQueue list to be
- checked during abortio, and the frame-type was
- being loaded improperly in FreeSQ, causing the
- above to not matter (no StackQueues were freed).
-
- 3.1
- DClose (device close) would use memory after it had been
- freed. This typically would cause a crash.
-
- 3.0
- The device would return an error when told to go online,
- and it was already online.
-
- The device would return an error when told to go offline,
- and it was already offline.
