What's the problem?

[Helga Eppig]

Hello
FW Up- and Downgrade tests under Solaris were made. The result of the tests:
- libTool (V1.94): test ok
- ltoTool (V4.92): test shows a little mistake in the display. The FW Upgrade was ok, but at the end of the flash function: old/new FW, the dsiplay shows the old FW version. After re-call the function with -i, the display shows the right (new) FW version.
The mistake will be fixed in the next FW release of the ltoTool.

I hope this will help
Helga
