       int6keth - Qualcomm Atheros Ethernet PHY Settings

SYNOPSIS

       int6keth [options] [device] [device] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       Read or write INT6x00 Ethernet PHY Settings using VS_ENET_SETTINGS.

       This  program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit.  See the plc man page for
       an overview and installation instructions.

OPTIONS

       -a mode
              Advertise auto-negotiate capabilities.  This option takes effect when option -w  is
              present.   It  is  ignored when option -r is present.  Valid values are "1000Full",
              "100Full", "100Half", "10Full" and "10Half".  The default value is no advertisement
              of capabilities.

       -d mode
              Device  duplex  transmission  mode.   This  option  takes  effect when option -w is
              present.  It is ignored when option -r is present.  Valid  values  are  "Half"  and
              "Full".  The default value is "Half".

       -e     Redirects  stderr  messages to stdout.  By convention status and error messages are
              printed on stderr while primary program output is printed on stdout.   This  option
              prints all output on stdout in cases where this is desired.

       -f control
              Flow  control  enable.   This option takes effect when option -w is present.  It is
              ignored when option -r is present.  Valid values are "On", "Off",  "Tx"  and  "Rx".
              The default value is "Off".

       -n mode
              Auto-negotiate  mode.   This  option takes effect when option -w is present.  It is
              ignored when option -r is present.  Valid values are "On" and "Off".   The  default
              value is "On".

       -p number
              The  ethernet port number.  Available port numbers differ with chipset and firmware
              version so consult the appropriate technical documentation.  Permitted values are 0
              through 7.  The default port is 0.

       -s speed
              Network  transmission  speed  in  mbps.  This option takes effect when option -w is
              present.  It is ignored when option -r is present.  Valid values  are  "10",  "100"
              and "1000".  The default value is "10".

       -i interface
              Select  the host Ethernet interface.  All requests are sent via this host interface
              and only reponses received via this host interface  are  recognized.   The  default
              interface  is  eth1  because  most  people  use  eth0  as  their  principle network
              connection;  however,  if  environment  string  "PLC"  is  defined  then  it  takes
              precedence  over  the  default  interface.   This option then takes precedence over
              either default.

       -q     Suppresses status messages on stderr.

       -r     Read settings from the Ethernet interface on the designated port.  If  present,  or
              implied by default, then options -a, -d, -f, -n and -s have no effect.  This option
              and option -w are mutually exclusive.

       -v     Print additional information on stdout.  In particular, this option dumps  incoming
              and outgoing packets which can be saved as text files for reference.

       -w     Write settings to the Ethernet interface on the specified port.  Be sure to specify
              all settings to avoid writing default  values.   This  option  and  option  -r  are
              mutually exclusive.

       -?,--help
              Print  program  help  summary  on  stdout.  This option takes precedence over other
              options on the command line.

       -?,--version
              Print program version information on stdout.  This  option  takes  precedence  over
              other  options  on  the command line.  Use this option when sending screen dumps to
              Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly  which  version  of  the  Linux
              Toolkit you are using.

ARGUMENTS

       device The  MAC  address of some powerline device.  More than one address may be specified
              on the command line.  If more than one address is  specified  then  operations  are
              performed  on  each device in turn.  The default address is local.  See DEVICES for
              information.

DEVICES

       Powerline devices use Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.  A MAC address  is  a
       48-bit  value  entered  as  12 hexadecimal digits in upper, lower or mixed character case.
       Octets  may  be  separated  with  colons  for  clarity.   For   example,   "00b052000001",
       "00:b0:52:00:00:01" and "00b052:000001" are valid and equivalent.

       The following MAC addresses are special and may be entered by name instead of number.

       all    Same as "broadcast".

       broadcast
              A  synonym  for  the  Ethernet  broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.  All devices,
              whether local, remote or foreign recognize messages sent to this address.  A remote
              device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection.  A foreign device is
              any device not manufactured by Atheros.

       local  A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management Address  (LMA),
              00:B0:52:00:00:01.  All local Atheros devices recognize this address but remote and
              foreign devices do not.  A remote device  is  any  device  at  the  far  end  of  a
              powerline connection.  A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros.
