[plug] NIC Information

[Shawn Owens]

There are three interfaces; I want to isolate which one has a CAT 5
cable plugged in as it's a new site.  

I'll investigate the dmesg

what about kernel messages?  looked at those?  (most modules will report
'link up/down when the link goes active/inactive)

ie: check 'dmesg' or your kernel log.

is the device actually up?  check ifconfig.
