PRI/Frame Relay firmware
Version 2.3.2 release notes
CVS options: "-r PHNX_V2_3_2"
Makefile options: "-e XBUS=DXB -e PLATFORM=PHOENIX -e VERSION=2.3.2"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contain modifications made in T1 module to work with French
Euro Numerous type ISDN lines. Also now Data Fire Prime card can also be set
for SHORT Haul under E1 mode. Following are the files modified:

sync/embed/t1/t1_api.c
sync/embed/t1/t1_api.h
sync/embed/t1/pac.c
sync/embed/t1/pac.h
sync/embed/t1/trans.c
sync/embed/t1/trans.h

SPECIAL NOTE: Previously hardware engineers have aboserverd signal integrity
issues in random tests when operating HAWAII chip for SHORT Haul mode in E1
mode. Therefore  use SHORT Haul under E1 mode only when it is extermely
necessary to use.

This release also contains T1 module header files which were modified. Driver
writers need to make same changes to their header files.

Note that this firmware contains the new Frame Relay API (all 32-bit fields).
If you are experimenting with Frame Relay on the PRI card with this firmware,
you will need to recompile with the new header files provided in this
release.

Found an oversight in the Link Control Block management code which was
causing Frame Relay to crash and burn.  This has been fixed.  See the
CVS log on frstargt.c for more detail.

Changed the buffer allocation scheme for LMI such that the buffers are
allocated with BPRI_HI instead of BPRI_MED.  This should reduce the
likelihood of the LMI going down during extreme congestion.
In addition, a bug which would cause a data pipe to jam when the LMI
went down and up has been fixed.
