NAME
       ne2k-pci-diag  -  EEPROM  setup and diagnostic program for
       PCI NE2000 ethernet cards.

SYNOPSIS
       ne2k-pci-diag [options]

DESCRIPTION
       ne2k-pci-diag is a program that you can  use  to  diagnose
       problems  with  PCI  NE200 Enternet adapters. This include
       cards with RealTek  RTL8029AS,  Holtak  HT80232  ECON-PCI,
       Winbond W89c940f and VIA VT86C926 (Amazon) chips.

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.

       -a, --show_all_registers
              Print all registers.

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

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

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

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

       -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 ne2k-pci-diag with the options '-t -1'.
