What network card do I have?

I recommend to use hwinfo to find out what network card you have: <source>

# hwinfo --netcard --short
network:                                                        
  eth4                 Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet
  eth2                 Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet
  eth1                 Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet
  eth0                 Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet
  eth3                 Intel 10-Gigabit XF SR Server Adapter
  eth5                 Intel PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter

</source>

Is a cable plugged in?

Is a cable plugged in? Look at the line "link detected": <source>

# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:

Find out your network card's firmware and driver

<source>

# ethtool -i eth0
driver: bnx2
version: 2.0.4
firmware-version: bc 3.5.12 UMP 1.1.8
bus-info: 0000:05:00.0

</source>

What are my IP addresses?
