Vortex Library is a BEEP Core protocol implementation, following the standard defined in RFC 3080 and RFC 3081. It has a clean and easy-to-use API that allows you to write new application protocols very quickly. Vortex Library has been developed within the Af-Arch project, and it is being used at the data transport layer. However, Vortex Library can be used independently of Af-Arch. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
Several bug were fixed, especially MSG number support. This means that values can be reused as long as they are replied (as defined by RFC). Also, support for transferring more than 4GB in the same channel was fixed.

vortex-diag - EEPROM setup and diagnostic program for the 3Com Vortex series.
SYNOPSIS
vortex-diag [options]
DESCRIPTION
vortex-diag is a program that you can use to diagnose problems with the 3Com Vortex series. Those include all cards which are based on the
3Com Vortex, Boomerang and Cyclone 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.
-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
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 vortex-diag with the options '-t -1'.
