A generic one? Not really. But tcpdump(8) is very useful.
Whereas ping(1) requires you to get the receive *and* transmit
working, along with routing and netmasks all at once before stuff
works, just using "tcpdump -n -i eth0" will let you know whether or
not your network card can see any Ethernet traffic; until it can,
nothing more complex will ever work, so tcpdump is a reasonably good
lowish level diagnostic tool.
