Hi,
How can I know if there is an in-built NIC in my mother-board?
And How can I know the RPM of my hard disk?, Is it possible to know both
these in FreeBSD?, I'm using FreeBSD5.1 - Release,


For the NIC, ifconfig will show all the network devices installed on a machine but if you want to confirm if it's onboard......

look at the back of the machine, often above the usb ports.

As for the hard drive the only way to find the rpm is to grab the model number and look it up :)

Type in dmesg at the console, use scroll lock and the up/down keys to move around.


somewhere around the end of it it will display something such as "ad0: 38154MB <TOSHIBA MK4025GAS> [77520/16/63] ata0-master BIOSPIO".

Common Drive speeds (in newer computers):
EIDE(ATA): 7200, 5400
SATA: 7200, 10000
SCSI: 10000, 15000
laptop: 4200, 5400
