I usually do one of two things. Depending on the situation. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
If both NICs are from the same vendor I install mii-tool and only plug in |
| 4 |
one port. mii-tool will show link state. This when it negotiates it will |
| 5 |
show output like: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
eth0: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok |
| 8 |
eth1: no link |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
If the NICs are from different vendors I usally just do a ifconfig and grab |
| 11 |
the MAC addresses of the cards. Then I Google for a mac lookup tool. The |
| 12 |
first 6 digits of a MAC are vendor specific. |
| 13 |

Hope this helps! |
