------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed Issues:

	1) No NTP poll after switch boot: add polling STP state. SNTP packet
	will not be sent until one port’s STP state changes to "forwarding".

	2) "cfg show" from telnet times out after pressing q, Esc, or CTRL-C.

	3) "cfg show" and TFTP operations no longer conflict.  TFTP 
	operations will not be available until "cfg show" completes.

	4) Changes to port X in a VLAN changes the PVID of port Y in the
	same VLAN.

HOW TO USE:
                                              
Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your target computer. The SoftPaq
is a .tgz file with a file name based on the SoftPaq Number. 

Run this command to extract the files from the .tgz file: 
	tar -zxvf *.tgz 

Place the firmware image file (*.bin) on a TFTP server that is network-accessible from the switch you wish to update.  Use the switch's command line interface (CLI) to update the firmware. Alternately, the switch's serial console may be used to update the firmware.  See the switch's User Guide for detailed instructions.

Refer to the Softpaq README file for installation instructions and firmware information.
