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  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       -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'.
