−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, −−base−address <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
