C.1.1.1 Register Test

This test performs write, read, and compare on the QEC, bmac, and transceiver
registers. The test will then issue a reset to make sure that the appropriate
register contents are reset.

C.1.1.2 Internal Loopback Test

This test will check the internal loopback data path.

C.1.1.3 Transceiver Test

This test will check the onboard transceiver connection and the link status.

C.1.1.4 Tx/Rx Enable/Disable Test

This test will verify that the Tx and Rx state machines work properly when
disabled or enabled.

C.1.1.5 Frame Counter Test

This test will verify the Rx Frame, Length Error, and FCS Error counters. The
test will also verify the counter expiration status. Rx Frame can be tested by
sending good packets, Length Error can be tested by sending packets with
length exceeding max size, and FCS Error can be tested by sending packets
without FCS.

C.1.1.6 Address Detection Test

This test will verify the broadcast addressing mode, promiscuous modes, and
filter my own packet mode.

C.1.1.7 Address Hash Test

This test will verify the address hash table logic.
