NAME

       eepro100-diag  -  EEPROM  setup  and diagnostic program for Intel EtherExpress Pro100B, and EEPro PCI 10+
       ethernet cards.

SYNOPSIS

       eepro100-diag [options]

DESCRIPTION

       eepro100-diag is a program that you can use to diagnose problems with ethernet cards based the  "Speedo3"
       chip  series: the i82557, '558 and '559.  These chips are used on the EtherExpress Pro100B, and EEPro PCI
       10+.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with  long  options  starting  with  two  dashes
       (`-').  A summary of options is included below.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -V, --version
              Show version of program.

       -v, --verbose
              Verbose mode.

       -q, --quiet
              Be very unverbose.

       -# <cardnum>, --card_num <cardnum>
              Use card number <cardnum>.

       -a, --show_all_registers
              Print all registers.

       -e, --show-eeprom
              Dump EEPROM contents to stdout.

       -E, --emergency-rewrite
              Re-write a corrupted EEPROM.

       -p, --port-base <port>
              Specify port to use.

       -A, --Advertise <mediaype>
              Advertise  media  type. Valid Options are: 10baseT, 100baseT4, 100baseTx, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-
              HD, 10baseT-FD and 10baseHD.

       -F, --new-interface <interface>
              Interface number. Options that make sense are:  10baseT,  10base2,  AUI,  100baseTx,  10baseT-FDX,
              100baseTx-FDX, 100baseT4, 100baseFx, 100baseFx-FDX, MII and Autosense.

       -H, --new-hwaddress <address>
              Set card to a new hardware address.

       -m, --show-mii
              Dump MII management registers.

       -R, --reset
              Reset the transceiver.

       -T, --test
              Do register and SRAM test.

       -w, --write-EEPROM <values>
              Write to the EEPROMS with the specified values. Do not use this, if you do not know what you do!

       -f, --force-detection
              Try to identify the card, even if it is active.

       -t, --chip-type <card>
              Explicitly set the chip. To get all valid numbers, run eepro100-diag with the options '-t -1'.
