I forgot that ifconfig did that. Good reminder.
Excellent. Thanks!
By the way, now I'm coming at you over 700 feet of cat5e cable, with a
splice at 430 feet. The IEEE 802.3 engineers would be proud that their
protocol performed so well beyond the spec. One note: I had to run at
10Mbps at this distance, while I was able to run at 100Mbps at 430 feet.
Also, I couldn't get any connectivity at 1000 feet (just link lights,
but no data).
This has been a fun experiment. Thanks for the comments on ifconfig and mtr.
