there are many ways to do this. 1. cat /dev/kmesg you should get lines that start with #ln, where n is a small nonnegative integer. #l0: i82574: 1000Mbps port 0xFA6E0000 irq 11 tu 1514: 003048d788de #l1: i82574: 1000Mbps port 0xFA7E0000 irq 10 tu 1514: 003048d788df 2. ls /net/ether0. if you have a network, you will get similar output to this. (you may not have the mtu file. that's my addition, especially for aoe performance.) chula# chula# lc /net/ether0 0 1 2 3 addr clone ifstats mtu stats > Q2:And this is related to Q1 above: Are these adapters supported on > real hardware?
