[ale] refined ethernet speed

[Chris Fowler]

WS Ping Pack Pro has a feature that will allow you to try to determine speed of traffic to a host.  It uses ICMP packets but runs under Winbloze.  I have used it before.

Let me refine my question:


Does anyone know a good general way to find out whether a Linux box's 
ethernet board is running in 10mbps or 100mbps mode?  I would like to do 
this for a number of machines, scattered throughout a building, often hidden 
behind or under desks. I.e., in software, across the network, without prior 
knowledge of the ethernet board installed, without installing new software on 
each machine, given a list of hostnames would be the ideal.


Am I picky/lazy or what? :)
