Hi,

Any body having idea to find the NIC Capacity / BW (10 / 100 Mbps) ?
Whether the interface may be eth0/eth1/ppp0 or some other.
Is there any related IOCTL avialable, if so just give the linux-2.4.18
file path.

thanks,
Srikanth.

Srikanth,

For ethernet interfaces (devices), you should be able to determine the
negotiated speed with either a device specific diagnostic utility
(e.g., tulip-diag), or, with recent kernels and drivers, mii-diag,
mii-tool, and the preferred ethtool.

You can find the source to ethtool here:

If this doesn't provide your answer, you may find a faster (if terser)
answer from linux-net....as for determining speed of a serial link from
the interface or device--I have no idea!  Maybe somebody else on the list?

Best of luck,

-Martin
