Doh!  Harmless buglet.  I fixed this a few weeks ago, and didn't put the
updated version on the FTP site.

The new/current version is now v2.14 12/28/2002, and it shouldn't
put out a message about "would do an EEPROM write" unless you actually
change a setting.

Here is the CVS log entry:

----------------------------
revision 2.14
date: 2002/12/28 18:33:44;  author: becker;  state: Exp;  lines: +50 -19
vortex-diag.c:v2.14 12/28/2002

Updates to the configuration EEPROM update code
  - Fixed harmless update with no media new selection (buglet in v2.13).
  - Use the previous checksum location, if it was initially correct.

Added usage information for Flash operations.

Changed the default '-G <val>' option meaning.
 Default is now to set the Wn2_ResetOptions register.
 Compile with -DOPTG_MULTICAST to set a single multicast filter bit.
 Compile with -DOPTG_RXTHRESH to the Rx Priority Threshold register.

I'll see if I can figure out who designed this transceiver (which will
hint who 3Com went to for this chip fab run).
