Symptoms:
	PHNE_15385:
	1. ping(1M) of size greater than 1500 bytes causes the
	   system to panic.
	2. lanadmin(1M) does not display extended MIB statistics.
	3. NetTL does not trace outbound packets.
	4. lanadmin reset does not restore multicast addresses
	   that were enabled prior to the reset.
	5. lanadmin reset does not re-enable promiscuous mode.
	6. Under heavy load, a lot of TCP retransmits are
	   observed.

Defect Description:
	PHNE_15385:
	1. An outbound packet of size greater than 1500 bytes
	   (the MTU of the Gigabit Ethernet link) is fragmented
	   by IP and passed to the driver as a train of buffers.
	   The driver was not traversing this train correctly.
	2. The ifSpecific field of the MIB statistics structure
	   was incorrectly set to zero.
	3. The driver did not handle NetTL tracing of outbound
	   fragments.
	4. The reset operation restored the adapter to its default
	   state.  This cleared all the multicast addresses
	   programmed in the adapter.
	5. The reset operation also cleared the promiscuous mode
	   that the adapter was in.
	6. The driver did not correctly maintain its internal
	   pending transmit queue.  As a result, under
	   heavy load, packets were dropped even though the
	   queue was not full.

	copy of the original software, use the patch_save_files option:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \
			  -x patch_save_files=false -s /tmp/PHNE_15385.depot

	WARNING: If patch_save_files is false when a patch is installed,
		 the patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	For future reference, the contents of the PHNE_15385.text file is
