Type of NIC

victor_cortez — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 15:29:44 GMT

Hi all,

I have some SGs on open server and I want to know brand and driver of the nics.

I lern from Max Power book to use this command:

ls -1 /sys/class/net | grep -v ^lo | xargs -i ethtool -i {} | grep driver

But the running version is r80.30 I cant get using this command above.

Did you guys know how to get by cli?

Tks,

Victor C

This is just a clever command to get all the NICs and output the driver used for each one.
You can simply run ethtool against the various NICs (e.g. ethtool eth0) and get the same information, just not in as pretty a format.

Use this (note that the argument to ls is a number 1, not a letter l):

ls -1 /sys/class/net | grep -v ^lo | xargs -i -t ethtool -i {} | egrep -e '^driver:|^version:'

ethtool -i eth0

driver: e1000
version: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI
ethtool -i eth1
driver: e1000
version: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI
ethtool -i eth2
driver: e1000
version: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI
