Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics also allows you to update device firmware and to view and change settings for available adapter properties. There are two versions of the Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics: uxdiag.exe (for BCM5708/BCM5709 network adapters) and uediag.exe (for BCM57710 network adapters). To run Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics, create an MS-DOS 6.22 bootable disk containing the uxdiag.exe or uediag.exe file. Next, start the system with the boot disk in drive A.
