1. The 3Com 3C5x9 driver e3E has been improved in the following ways Changes have been made to ensure compatibility with future versions of the EtherLink III hardware The performance of the driver has been improved and it now takes greater advantage of the parallel tasking features in the hardware Error messages generated by the driver have been rewritten for greater clarity Support has been added for the PCMCIA version 3C589 The NE2000 Ethernet driver ne has been revised for better performance and reliability The wd Ethernet driver now supports the SMC Elite Ultra Model 8216 Ethernet adapter The High Sierra CD ROM file system now supports many new mount options Several sysadm security issues have been resolved A sysadn file systems backup problem with tape drives having an automated eject mechanism has been fixed INTERACTIVE UNIX System Version 4 1 Release Notes June 1994 I lll Utility Fixes The file backup and restore options of the sysadm utility have been changed to properly save and restore symbolic links The sysadm backup utility has been fixed to accommodate directories with more than one slash in the name for example usr spool kconfig has been modified to allow EISA cards to be configured for appropriate I O addresses The kconfig 1 manual page has been updated to document the way in which changes to the sysadm Memory Size Default menu option the default setting file c2.
