GOAL:
How to find the current speed of a Linux Network Card
GOAL:
What tool exists to display the negotiated rate of a Linux Network Card
GOAL:
What tool exists to show the speed a Linux Network Card
FIX:
On some Linux Platforms the tool mii-tool can be used to determine the current settings and also the configurable options for the installed network devices.
The mii-tool is part of the net-tools package and it is usually located in the /sbin directory.
Command and parameters:
mii-tool [-v, --verbose] [-V, --version] [-R, --reset] [-r, --restart]
[-w, --watch] [-l, --log] [-A, --advertise=media,...] [-F,
--force=media] [interface ...]
With no options the tool gives a very basic output sufficient to determine the configured transmission speed and duplex mode.
Example: mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
