int6keth - Qualcomm Atheros Ethernet PHY Settings
int6keth [options] [device] [device]
[...]
Read or write INT6x00 Ethernet PHY Settings using
VS_ENET_SETTINGS.
This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit.
See the plc man page for an overview and installation
instructions.
- -a mode
- Advertise auto-negotiate capabilities. This option takes effect when
option -w is present. It is ignored when option -r is
present. Valid values are "1000Full",
"100Full", "100Half",
"10Full" and "10Half". The default value
is no advertisement of capabilities.
- -d mode
- Device duplex transmission mode. This option takes effect when option
-w is present. It is ignored when option -r is present.
Valid values are "Half" and "Full". The
default value is "Half".
- -e
- Redirects stderr messages to stdout. By convention status and error
messages are printed on stderr while primary program output is printed on
stdout. This option prints all output on stdout in cases where this is
desired.
- -f control
- Flow control enable. This option takes effect when option -w is
present. It is ignored when option -r is present. Valid values are
"On", "Off", "Tx" and
"Rx". The default value is "Off".
- -n mode
- Auto-negotiate mode. This option takes effect when option -w is
present. It is ignored when option -r is present. Valid values are
"On" and "Off". The default value is
"On".
- -p number
- The ethernet port number. Available port numbers differ with chipset and
firmware version so consult the appropriate technical documentation.
Permitted values are 0 through 7. The default port is
0.
- -s speed
- Network transmission speed in mbps. This option takes effect when option
-w is present. It is ignored when option -r is present.
Valid values are "10", "100" and
"1000". The default value is "10".
- -i interface
- Select the host Ethernet interface. All requests are sent via this host
interface and only reponses received via this host interface are
recognized. The default interface is eth1 because most people use
eth0 as their principle network connection; however, if environment
string "PLC" is defined then it takes precedence over the
default interface. This option then takes precedence over either default.
- -q
- Suppresses status messages on stderr.
- -r
- Read settings from the Ethernet interface on the designated port. If
present, or implied by default, then options -a, -d,
-f, -n and -s have no effect. This option and option
-w are mutually exclusive.
- -v
- Print additional information on stdout. In particular, this option dumps
incoming and outgoing packets which can be saved as text files for
reference.
- -w
- Write settings to the Ethernet interface on the specified port. Be sure to
specify all settings to avoid writing default values. This option and
option -r are mutually exclusive.
- -?,--help
- Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over
other options on the command line.
- -?,--version
- Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence
over other options on the command line. Use this option when sending
screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which
version of the Linux Toolkit you are using.
- device
- The MAC address of some powerline device. More than one address may be
specified on the command line. If more than one address is specified then
operations are performed on each device in turn. The default address is
local. See DEVICES for information.
Powerline devices use Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC)
addresses. A MAC address is a 48-bit value entered as 12 hexadecimal digits
in upper, lower or mixed character case. Octets may be separated with colons
for clarity. For example, "00b052000001",
"00:b0:52:00:00:01" and "00b052:000001" are valid and
equivalent.
The following MAC addresses are special and may be entered by name
instead of number.
- all
- Same as "broadcast".
- broadcast
- A synonym for the Ethernet broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
All devices, whether local, remote or foreign recognize messages sent to
this address. A remote device is any device at the far end of a powerline
connection. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros.
- local
- A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management
Address (LMA), 00:B0:52:00:00:01. All local Atheros devices
recognize this address but remote and foreign devices do not. A remote
device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection. A foreign
device is any device not manufactured by Atheros.

Manual for more information.
