These OCO modules are functionally equivalent to the vanilla kernel 2.4.19 OCO-modules of 2002-12-19 and therefore include fixes for the following problems:

Description: Re-enable OSA features like broadcast after cable pull.
Symptom: Broadcast doesn't work on OSD devices after cable pull.

Description: Fix MAC decoding problem for VM Guest LAN interfaces (needs PTF UM30652, available for z/VM 4.3.0).
Symptom: MAC address could not be determined for VM Guest LAN interfaces

Description: Removed message "adapter is using anycast or nocast. Using unicast instead."
Symptom: A lot of messages "adapter is using anycast or nocast. Using unicast instead." showing up, possibly jamming the console.

Description: Fix high load in many-to-one communication scenarios.
Symptom: When multiple guests send traffic to one destination under VM LAN, the Linux load goes to 100%
