Overview
This manual page documents briefly the em8300-mc_ex command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
em8300-mc_ex is a program that is for extracting the microcode from windows vxds. After running this program two or three microcode files will be written to the current directory, the number depending on the driver you have. The different microcode versions seem to be for different revisions of the cards. Currently, the only way to determine which microcode is correct for your card is to try them all and pick the one that works the best. Do not be alarmed if some of them do not work at all.
