ECO KIT SUMMARY:

A dupatch-based, Early Release Patch kit exists for HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1 that
contains solutions to the following problem(s):

This MANDATORY ee device driver update will addresses the following potential
network related issue reported on the HP Tru64 UNIX operating system:

     o    ee driver Transmit Timeout Error 

Additionally, in laboratory testing, HP has observed that a rare error path 
in the driver could cause a system to behave unexpectedly or shut down.  HP 
has observed this issue only in internal laboratory test environments. There 
are no known field/customer reports of this problem. While the likelihood of 
the trigger event occurring in a customer application environment is perceived 
to be low, the actual probability is not known. Because of this, HP is 
advising customers of the anomaly so that they may take appropriate 
precautions to prevent it.

The following hardware devices use the ee driver and are potentially
affected: 
     *	DE60x series adapters 
     *	DS15 onboard 10/100 ports

HP has addressed these potential problems with this 1.0.23 version of the ee 
software driver.
