Note that it replaces 8012. We don't want to carry forward 8012 support unless forced to. If necessary we'll add it in disto. It was an early device that didn't have firmware support and different flash layout. 2) Removes driver link management and adds firmware support of link management. 3) A lot of clean up. Cheers, Ron
