Creation Date: 96/07/22

Repost: 96/08/13
        The liblan7.a file was originally placed in the
        /etcconf/lib directory, which is incorrect and results
        in a non-functional patch.  The patch has been rereleased
        placing the file correctly in the /etc/conf directory.

           memory pressure.

        1. The internal driver inbound buffer was too small.
           Increased the size to minimize dropping of packets.
