DESCRIPTION

       epic-diag  is  a  program that you can use to diagnose problems with ethernet cards based on the SMC83C170 series EPIC/100 chip, as used on
       the SMC EtherPowerII boards.

       -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

       -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.
