How to learn what ethernet connections are passing and how they are
setup?
I haven't had to do something like this for quite a while and have
forgotten how to go about it.
I have two ethernet adaptors but using only one, a gigabit ethernet
card.
I want to determine if it is actually passing a gigabit of data as
advertised.
What do I use to get that kind of info?
Dmesg id's it like this:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 177
eth0: Identified chip type is 'RTL8169s/8110s'.
eth0: RTL8169 at 0xf8840f00, 00:40:f4:b5:29:41, IRQ 177
Ifconfig, like this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:B5:29:41
