1 How to learn what ethernet connections are passing and how they are
2 setup?
3
4 I haven't had to do something like this for quite a while and have
5 forgotten how to go about it.
6
7 I have two ethernet adaptors but using only one, a gigabit ethernet
8 card.
9
10 I want to determine if it is actually passing a gigabit of data as
11 advertised.
12
13 What do I use to get that kind of info?
14
15 Dmesg id's it like this:
16 r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK loaded
17 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 177
18 eth0: Identified chip type is 'RTL8169s/8110s'.
19 eth0: RTL8169 at 0xf8840f00, 00:40:f4:b5:29:41, IRQ 177
20
21 Ifconfig, like this:

23 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:B5:29:41
