The Adapter build date that is to be printed on instantiation was not displayed as a result of the supplemental adapter information structure not being in sync with the Firmware; the driver took an early test cycle version that had a miss-sized padded region at the head and the structure was not re-checked at the end of qualification. The Build Date was not a priority and is merely a cosmetic enhancement, and the wrong location for the start of the structure member would not induce any side-effect problems. We updated the structure to match the actual format, and added the TSID (Tech Support Identification) value print, should it be present, to the adapter instantiation announcements during driver load. This later enhancement should improve the relationship between Service folk & Tech Support if the printed value of the TSID found it's way into the circular file labeled G... Neither of these values show in sysfs (yet). ObligatoryDisclaimer: Please accept my condolences regarding Outlook's handling of patches.
