I suppose, the output of "ifconfig" does not tell the real bandwidth correctly. So if you've got an Ethernet device you can try to use "mii-diag", which can be found at: http://www.scyld.com/diag If you want to estimate the real bandwidth of an ADSL (e.g. PPP over Ethernet) connection it will be much difficult, because you cannot determine the real speed which is mostly limited by your ISP's settings at their edge router.
