Introduction
Broadcom NetXtreme User Diagnostics is an MS-DOS based application that runs a series of diagnostic tests (see
Table 1: "MS-DOS Command Prompt Mode Command Options"
) on the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapters in

In either mode, you can view the version of the adapter software and specify which adapter to test and which tests to
perform. The MS-DOS Command Prompt mode is useful for viewing and changing the settings for available properties,
updating and loading device firmware, viewing the version of and printing the error log (if any) to a file. The Broadcom CLI
mode is useful for enabling/disabling available properties and enabling/disabling/selecting and setting the speed and duplex
mode of available protocols.
To run Broadcom NetXtreme User Diagnostics, create an MS-DOS 6.22 bootable disk containing the B57udiag.exe file. Next,
