Programmatically get ethernet interface speed?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there a (reasonable) way to programmatically get the speed of an ethernet
interface? So far all I've been able to do is look at net_device.if_port from the
kernel and try to deduce the speed (10 vs 100Mbit) from the tranciever setting. This
works fine with 3c59x, but not with eepro100, and I suspect it doesn't work with
lots of other drivers as well.

Any advice? I'm afraid someone is going to suggest looking at net_device.priv on a
driver-by-driver basis.
