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?
ethtool, or even lshw.
How do you make ethtool iterate over the available interfaces?
I suppose that would be a script. lshw - which is clearer than just dmidecode, would do it.
Dumb question: in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, do the ifcfg-* have HWADDRs?
