NOTE The HWEnable11i bundle, which is normally installed by default on the 11i OE media,
provides the patches that are required for the installation of these networking bundles.
When updating an existing 11i system, you can install the HWEnable11i bundle and the
desired networking bundle from the OE media in the same install session to meet
software dependencies.
In addition to currently supported cards, the swlist report may contain the product
numbers of cards that have been “pre-enabled,” but have not been released yet.
