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.
