Introduction

This document provides the information on how to use the sromutil program on the Broadcom 440X Fast Ethernet Controller.

All commands can be entered from the Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt. When a program is run without a parameter, the CLI mode is entered. Otherwise, the parameter is used as a command to be executed and exits the program after.

If this utility is run without any options, it prints usage information. Typically, it would be run as follows:

sromutl.exe XXXXXXXXXXXX 4401 1028 0127

The XXXXXXXXXXXX is the MAC address in hex, without the leading 0x.

To change the sromutil -w 4.0x4401 device ID:

sromutl.exe -b n XXXXXXXXXXXX 4401 1028 0127

Ensure that the driver is not loaded before running sromutil. System must be rebooted to verify changes take place.


Prerequisites

    OS: Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP
    Software: sromutil.exe and epindd.sys. Make sure epindd.sys is in the Windows System32\Drivers directory.

sromut1 [-flags] [-opts] mac_addr deviceid sub_vendorid sub_deviceid

Flags:

Options:
