NAME

       int6keth - Qualcomm Atheros Ethernet PHY Settings

SYNOPSIS

       int6keth [options] [device] [device] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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.

ARGUMENTS

       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.

DEVICES

       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.
