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