In earlier versions 'mii-tool' would iterate over interfaces and show which have link up. In 6.x it wants an interface as a parameter. What is the appropriate way to find which of some number of of interfaces are connected? Better yet, what is the least typing to get the mac addresses of those interfaces
/sbin/ip link ls
That looks promising. And '/sbin/ip addr' shows both the state and the mac address - even better.
