Software Version F.05.14 Information
                     for the Switch 2312 and 2324
             -----------------------------------------------

NOTE:  This file contains software release information for the HP Procurve
       Switches 2312, 2324, and associated transceiver modules.


Software Version:  F.05.14
Release Date:  9/26/02


Fixed bugs:
-----------
PR_3104  Performance: Slow performance and possible packet loss when switch was 
connected to Intel 10/100 NICs.

PR_3120  Performance: Slow performance over 10 Mbit half-duplex links when
switch is connected to various NICs such as 3COM 3C905B, 3COM 3C590C, D-Link 
DE-528 and Lantech PCI-NET/32T.

PR_3138  Transceiver hot-swap: A transceiver hot-swap is falsely reported when 
the screws on a transceiver are tightened or loosened.  

PR_3167  Transceivers: Removing and re-inserting both transceivers 
simultaneously many times with network cables attached and without an 
intervening reboot may cause the switch to crash with a message similar to:
  -> Software exception in ISR at buffers.c:1627

PR_3711  Crash: When hot-swapping transceivers multiple times, the switch may
crash with a message similar to:
  -> Software exception at port_sm.c:378 in -- 'mPmSlvCtrl'

PR_4967  Performance/Crash: Slow performance may occur when using 10/100 ports or 
the 100FX transceiver operating at half-duplex.  And when using 100FX, Gigabit 
Stacking, Gigabit-SX, or Gigabit-LX transceivers operating at full-duplex (Note: 
The Gigabit transceivers can only operate in full-duplex mode.)  This was due to 
the Interpacket Gap (IPG) being too long for half-duplex and too short for full-
duplex.  This may also result in a switch crash with a message similar to:
  -> Software exception at woodyDma_recv.c:154 -- in 'eDrvPollRx'
  -> DMA unrecoverable error

PR_5000  Link-up polling interval: A delay of up to 1.7 seconds between plugging 
in a cable (linkbeat established) and traffic being forwarded to and from that 
port may cause problems with some time sensitive applications.  For example, 
AppleTalk dynamic address negotiation can be affected, resulting in multiple 
devices using the same AppleTalk address.

PR_5309  Message buffer leak: Port online/offline transitions may cause message buffer depletion
and eventually the switch may crash with a message similar to: 
  -> Software exception at alloc_free.c:353 - in 'mLpmgrCtrl', -> No msg buffer
