apt-get install ethtool:
qntal:/proc/sys/net# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)
Link detected: yes
Some drivers spit out some information, but I don't know it they all do
qntal:/proc/sys/net# dmesg | grep eth0
eth0: Broadcom 4400 10/100BaseT Ethernet 00:01:80:3a:02:55
b44: eth0: Link is down.
b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
Other options are the packages
nictools-pci || nictools-nopci for EEPROM manipulations of certain cards (nictools-pci
contains no broadcom tools :-( so this is not very usefull to me)
Or mii-diag:
qntal:/proc/sys/net# mii-diag
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #1: 1000 782d 0040 6360 0de1 45e1 0007 2001.
The autonegotiated capability is 01e0.
The autonegotiated media type is 100baseTx-FD.
Basic mode control register 0x1000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
Your link partner advertised 45e1: Flow-control 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD
10baseT, w/ 802.3X flow control.
End of basic transceiver information.
qntal:/proc/sys/net# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
