LAN type

Recently a friend of mine asked me,on seeing a LAN,how to find its type?, the only answer i could give her was , on seeing the cabling used, we can say whether it is 10 Base T, or fast ethernet etc.

can any one give any other solution/answer ?

# mii-tool
eth0: no link
eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok

On Debian systems that's found from net-tools package, ymmv. That can give you much more information as well, so check the manpage. Hope this helps.


Maxwell lol

There is also ethtool. I recently downloaded the source, and compiled it.It provides a lot of information, and options to control the NIC card.
