i just upgraded my router. so i have gigabit lan ports. im just wondering, is there a way i can check what speed im connected at, whether its at 100 or gigabit? i dont really car too much about testing the speed, i just want to know what speed it thinks it connected. i tried ifconfig, but all i can figure out in tehre is my IP and mac
edit, just looked through it again, and spotted TXqueuelen set to 1000, is that it?
heres my ifconfig output, just in case

txqueuelen is the lengh of the transmit queue. You can check your negotiated speed with mii-tool which is a part of net-tools package.

i just tried mii-tool, it just tells me the operations not supported

Do you run it as superuser? How about mii-tool -v ?

How about ethtool eth0 ?

uhh, this can't be right, can it? isnt ethtool part of the same package?
[urmom@urmom-pc k9copy]$ ethtool eth0
bash: ethtool: command not foundah, nevermind, it is a seperate package, got it installed, works now
[urmom@urmom-pc k9copy]$ sudo ethtool eth0

Supported ports: [ MII ]Yet mii-tool can't read it. Weird. What chip is that btw?
Offline
whatever is built into the nforce 5 series chipset, im on an asus m2n-e motherboard, so its not all that new
i thought that was wierd though too, i ended up trying mii-tool again after installing ethtool, still the same thing
