ifstatus is an utility which may be used to detect the link
status of a local Linux ethernet device, much in the same way
mii-diag, mii-tool and ethtool work. In fact it supports all
three different APIs these three tools use. Thus, it provides
maximal compatibility. The newest API (ethtool) is used first,
than the next older (mii-diag) and at last the oldest
(mii-tool). It may be used in shell script since it returns the
current status as return value. It is especially useful to
detect the available APIs on the used network driver. (Option
You may speicify an ethernet device on the command line. Otherwise ifstatus will check for eth0..eth9 automatically.
