-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,

-F, --new-interface <interface>
Interface number. Options that make sense are: 10baseT, 10base2,
AUI, 100baseTx, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTx-FDX, 100baseT4,
