NAME
epic-diag - EEPROM setup and diagnostic program for SMC EtherPowerII ethernet cards and others.
SYNOPSIS

- -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, --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.
