yellowfin-diag - EEPROM setup and diagnostic program for Ethernet
cards based on the "Yellowfin" G-NIC-I chip.
yellowfin-diag is a program that you can use to diagnose
problems with Ethernet cards based on the "Yellowfin" G-NIC-I or
Symbios 53c885 chip.
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 yellowfin-diag with
the options '-t -1'.
