How to know on a gigabit Eth0 if a given port is working in half duplex, full duplex,and if it's fast ethernet or full ethernet, from Gnome/Fedora?
If I hover over the ETH0 icon in the notification area of the Gnome bar I only see "Wired connection 'System eth0' active". Is there any way to make it display "Wired connection ' system eth- active (1000 Mbit, Fulll Duplex)" or @"Wired connection ' system eth- active (1000 Mbit, Half Duplex)"
Would come very handing while testing cables....
Thanks!!! FC

If you mean NetworkManager Applet, then right-clicking on it gives you Connection Information selection (it does not have all ethtool info, of course). Anyway, this is a Request For Enhancement matter and it is acceptable to create a Bugzilla report stating the nature (that is RFE) of it. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
