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 sum-
       mary 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>
              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'.
