Anyone out there know of a way to manually blink link lights on ethernet interfaces under Linux? I am working on a project where it would be useful to be able to positively determine that a particular port on a computer corresponds to a particular ethX device by saying "Eth0 is the one with the blinking link light" and so on. I've been doing some man-page reading (mii-tool and ifconfig) and Googling, but have so far come up empty handed. A method that is easy to integrate into a Python or bash script would be best, as if beggars can be choosers...
Isn't that always the way? Seconds after hitting send I remembered ethtool, a quick look at the man page shows that it has this capability built right in... Sorry! -- -Regards- -Quentin Hartman-
