How to probe ethernet capabilities…

Mostly for my own edification – use “ethtool”, eg:

You’ll note two important details about this output:

  1. This NIC is gig capable but is only running at 100mbs.
  2. I claim to be running this as root, but any good sysad should be using “sudo” instead!

Anyway, simple command, but sometimes you forget them.
