.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.B \-d \-\-device <dev>
PCI device in following format:
.br
.I 0000:00:00.0
(domain:bus:dev.func)
.TP
.B \-n \-\-nodev
don't touch any device, file-only operations
.br
.TP
.B \-m \-\-preserve-mac
don't change card's MAC while writing full eeprom dump
.br
.TP
.B \-c \-\-preserve-calib
don't change card's calibration data while writing full eeprom dump
.br
.TP
.B \-o \-\-ofile <output_file>
dump eeprom to binary file
.TP
.B \-b \-\-bigendian
set output file byteorder to big-endian (default: little-endian)
.br
use with \fB\-o\fR
.TP
.B \-i \-\-ifile <input_file>
write eeprom from binary file
dump file byteorder will be autodetected
.TP
.B \-p \-\-patch11n
patch device eeprom to enable 802.11n.
.br
use this option to convert your 5100ABG/5150AGX to 5100AGN/5150ANX respectively
if 802.11n already supported by your card, this will unlock some channels
.TP
.B \-I \-\-init
init device power.
.br
use this option if driver hasn't inited the device (for ex. if it has wrong dev_id or subsys_id)
.TP
.B \-P \-\-parse
parse eeprom (show available modes/channels)
.br
.TP
.B \-D \-\-debug <level>
set debug level (0-1), default 0
.br
