Hardware Tests: Determines if the adapter is functioning properly.
NOTE: Hardware tests will fail if the adapter is configured for iSCSI Boot.
To access these tests, select the adapter in Windows Device Manager, click the Link tab, and click Diagnostics. A Dia-
gnostics window displays tabs for each type of test. Click the appropriate tab and run the test.
The availability of these tests is hardware and operating system dependent.
DOS Diagnostics
Use the DIAGS test utility to test adapters under DOS.
Linux Diagnostics
The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical inform-
ation. ethtool version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
The latest release of ethtool can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel.
NOTE: ethtool 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options. Support for a more complete ethtool feature set
can be enabled by upgrading ethtool to the latest version.
