Not to beat a dead horse, but you could 'barely' bind TCP in general
until that patch.  100BT was painfully late on the 3000, while the 9000
has dual-port 100TX with auto port aggregation, and now gigabit
support.

Although I haven't investigated the patch details, I would venture to
guess that the "patch" was to fix DTS anomalies of not being able to
handle incoming traffic on the non-NMMGR-designated NIC (which would be
the case if you were running both 10bt MFIO annd 100TX add-on.
TCP handles it rather well (ICMP redirects) but at layer 2 of AFCP it
isn't all that easy.
