how to diagnose ethernet card?
Given that my network is down, how can I check if my NIC works? In particular, if el3diag gives a successful-looking message and no errors, can I assume the NIC is OK? (My cable modem connection is foobar and I would like to at least trust my hardware) thanks chris

tcpdump tells you the raw tcp messages, and is great for troubleshooting. Also, ping your net address ifconfig might be what you are looking for if you want to see if the interface is setup and running.
