Monitoring and Maintaining NICs....... OS command options......

Hello all. A very general question here.
I'm trying to investigate a number of options that are available (standard OS commands) to perform query and maintenance on network interface cards. I'm aware of the likes of ifconfig, netstat, kstat and ndd but am interested to hear about any others that allow attribute analysis of the NICs.
Attributes of particular interest are speed, negotiation duplex settings. I'm aware that the above commands can return these values.... but ..... as I said, it's just a little research project that i'm working on.
Many thanks.

Solaris 10 has the "dladm show-dev" that will give link status, speed and duplex. Looks like "nicstatus" on bigadmin is now updated to use dladm: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/submittedScripts/nicstatus.txt
For the very specific outputs on interfaces (errors, drops, etc., etc.) kstat (or ndd for some of the older interfaces like hme) is still the gold standard, so to speak. Be careful, b/c those counters can flip over many times since boot time (the only way to clear kstat counters) on a busy networked system.

  • My WiFi is down and says ´´No Hardware Installed´´ and I´m not sure how to fix it. I´ve tried shutting it down and pressing P, R, Command, Option, but it only works sometimes, and as a temporary fix. What do I do?

    My WiFi is down and the icon states ´´No Hardware Installed´´. Sometimes the WiFi will come back, but it will shut me out after an hour or two. I´ve tried shutting it down and pressing P, R, Option, Command while turning it on, but it only sometimes works and is a temporary fix. I´m studying abroad and there aren´t apple stores near me. I went in to one before I left, and thought the tech employee had fixed it, but I started to have the same problem here. How can I fix this?

    This worked and solved the problem.

  • My MacBook is frozen and Command/Option/Escape doesn't work. What do you suggest I do? Any suggestions?

    My MacBoook is frozen and Command/Option?escapedoesn't work. I tried turning it off manually, but that doesn't work either.  What doyou suggest?

    Any external BT keybaord or mouse that can be turned off and break a cycle in that interface?  Any external USB device or external monitor that can break a locked-loop on those dvices?
    Holding the power button for 10 seconds (maybe more) should hard-stop all (even background) processes.  Can leave the system unbottable if stopped at wrong point, so is a last resort.

  • My iPhoto images won't show, and Photo Library Repair will not open when I command-Option-click on the iPhoto icon.

    Some of my iPhoto albums will not show, as below:
    When I click on any of those individual albums, for a brief split second I can see the images displayed, but then they revert to this:
    Then if I click on any of those images, this image appears:
    I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening. Each time I do it, iPhoto just opens as it normally does. I've tried about 10 times, closing iPhoto completely. I've tried through the dock icon and through the applications listing. Neither will open anything other than regular old iPhoto.
    Can anyone help me and suggest what I may be doing wrong, or are there any alternative was to open Photo Library Repair so I can rebuild my library? I really don't want to lose all of those photos, especially since some are really important and irreplaceable.
    Thanks.

    I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening.
    Be sure you're holding the correct keys and that you're holding them long enough. Depress them before clicking on iPhoto and don't let go until the menu shows up.
    If you don't want to lose those photos, make a back up now. Hopefully it's not too late.

  • I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.  Option-Command-Escape now brings up Front Row.  How can this be fixed?

    I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.  Option-Command-Escape now brings up Front Row.  How can this be fixed?
    Also, trying to copy portions of articles from Safari (5.1) to MS Word now results in the twirling ball. Any solutions?

    Try using the other Option (Alt) key. The reason I suggest that - the real command combo for Front Row is Command-Escape; yet yours was being activated when you pressed Command-Option-Escape. That would indicate that Finder was not responding to the inclusion of Option in the key combo. The simplest explanation for that would be that the Option key you are using is not working for some reason.
    One other 'simple' possibility - just to make sure (in case you are using a non-Apple keyboard), Option is the key adjacent to each Command key.

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:

  • I am unable to open my iphotos have tried the command,option hold down thing and nothing can open my photo libary but no the iphonts, can't get photos off my camera or iphone onto my mac.?

    I am unable to open my iphoto, have tried the command, option hold down, nothing, can't get my photos off my camera or my iphone, but i used to be able to?

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
    Step 2
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 3
    From the App Store menu bar, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 4
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 5
    Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

    I want to make sure all text in my document is a particular font (at least), but Cmd+a only selects any text that is not in a table. There seems to be no way to include text in tables, or even a way to change the format of all text in a particular table (MS Word allows the whole table to be highlighted for example).
    A double click in a cell selects it so you may enter what you wish in it.
    Select the cell A1 then, pressing the shift key, click in the right-bottom cell.
    Doing that you will get every table's cells selected which gives the ability to apply global attributes.
    I've searched the built-in help and found "To select all text in a document, choose Edit > Select All." This does not work as tables are excluded from this selection. If tried some of the other suggestions, such as holding down shift while selecting text in tables, but as soon as I get to the end of the text in one cell, the selection disappears.
    My guess is that some words are missing in the Help. Select All selects all the text … of the text layer.
    We must apply the settings to the text layer, to each text box, to each table.
    Of course, you may _Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09
