List,
the question was:
> how to retrieve information of a network card like:

> - speed
> - brand/type of the card
> - mac address

> on a 4.0 system.
I got multiple responses:
- most of the information can be retrieved from the file /var/adm/messages
- but also
. netstat
. ifconfig
returns some of the info
But I do not have a /var/adm/messages with the last boot in it.
According to the responses:
o 5.0 is better in retrieving information as 4.0
o a script (included) has been sent to retrieve information
o The following commands peeking into kernel memory will give the answers.
- Speed
##
# (ifnet.if_next if the lan target is tu1 , ifnet.if_next.if_netxt for tu2
....)
root# dbx -k /vmunix
dbx > p ifnet
if_baudrate = speed
- Type
##
# X is the number of the target (tu1,tu2, etc...)
root# dbx -k /vmunix
dbx> p tu_softc[X].tu_flags
fast_speed = 1 ---> 1-> 100
0-> 10
full_duplex = 1 ---> 1-> Full duplex
0-> Half duplexmy
