Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the Install.info file within the patch for instructions on
using the generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided
with each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
	NOTE1:  Install patch 103903-03 or newer (kernel/drv/le patch) to
                get the complete fix for 4033038.
 
        NOTE2:  For devices that do not advertise auto-negotiation and
                advertise 10-full-duplex and 10-half-duplex, hme will
                first select the 10-half-duplex.  However, one can force
                it to 10-full-duplex (if desired).
 
Reboot the system after patch installation.
