| The DE450 driver that ships with NT is owned by Microsoft (dc21x4.sys).
You can report this bug to them.
The DE450.sys driver that you pulled is written by the adapter
group, and it is really good news that it fixed the problem!

Hello,
What driver is certified with WindowsNT V4.0 HCT ?
Is the driver dc21x4.sys in WindowsNT V4.0 HCL, de450.sys ?

| 1255.3 | Is there a new driver for De435 | MSDOA::JDICKERSON | | Thu Jan 30 1997 09:37 | 21 |
| Mark,
Thanks for the pointer from the windows-nt conference to here. Note
5611 in windows-nt and note 1244 in etherworks both pertain to this
problem. "The web" is a pretty big place. Could you narrow the source
down a bit? I looked at our ftp site for mumble-mumble /pub/adapters. I
can find no new driver for the De435, but your problem seems a lot like
mine.
I am trying to escalate now, although it is difficult as the
noted::etherworks response is escalate to the decwet::windows-nt
conference and the decwet::windows-nt conference response is to
escalate to noted::etherworks conference. Both conferences urge me to
escalate to Microsoft, but can provide no means or instruction to do
so. I really don't want tp pay Microsoft $150 to tell them they have a
problem I have already e-mailed them and that is all I can do at this
time.
Thanks for verifying that it could be a driver problem.

| dc21x4.sys is in no way the same as de450.sys.
dc21x4.sys is a generic driver, originally written by Digital
Semiconductor, to run on all of their ethernet/fast ethernet
controllers for PCI (21040, 21041, 21140, 21140A, 21142, 21143
... so far). since these are GENERIC drivers, they SHOULD run on
our adapters that use these controllers (DE450 uses 21041).
However, apparently this driver has the bug described in this
note string.
de450.sys will load and run ONLY on the de450. This driver is writtem
by the network adapter group. Apparently, we do not have this particular
bug in our driver.
we did NOT write our own driver for the de435 (21040) for nt.
we rely on the generic dc21x4 driver within the nt CD to work.

| Thanks for all the suggestions. Finally found someone at NT
engineering. They have the problem on 3 other sites and were looking
for a work-around. Now, they have it.

| I am the developer of the dc21x4.sys driver at Digital Semiconductors. I got a
mail from Joel pointing me to this conference's notesfiles. I'll start working
on this issue, trying to reproduce the problem with the machines we have here (I
have not such ALPHASERVER machine here :-( ). I'll inform you when I find
something.

| Claudio,
Could you please place any updates / information on this problem here
as well. A few of us are waiting ... holding our breath, for a fix or
a workaround.
We seem to have seen this (or similar) at a few of our customers
sites
Thanks,
