Checking the speed&Duplex of my nic's

Hello all,
Bit of a trivial Linux question.
How can I check the ASL Speed&Duplex of its nics?
I know the mii-tool command, but it says it is not supported with current drivers.
Is there any other command to check it? if not should I update the nic drivers manually or ask for a feature request?
The server is DL380, and its nics are: NC3163

Does a command-line ifconfig show you??

Hi SecApp,
The ifconfig -a command does not reveal the speed and duplex of the nic, it is only intended to view the layer 3 configuration and the flow stats (at least thats what I know), Are you familiar with any flag that will show me the Speed/duplex with the ifconfig command?

Try dmesg, you might find the interface status messages in there after a reboot.

or restart the nics with ifdown/ifup, and look at /var/log/messages
