NIC speed duplex on AIX 5.3

Hi!

How can I get the information of speed/duplex settings of the NIC on an
AIX 5.3 server?
I already tried the commands I found with Google, I get a lot of
information, but NOT speed/duplex.

entstat -d ent0: a lot of info, but not speed/duplex
lsattr -El ent0: only infos about buffers
lsattr -El ent0 -a media_speed: error message


entstat -d ent0

Any ideas?

Thanks.

this is a virtual adapter. it is always duplex and does not come at
fixed speed.

I was about to say check the settings on your VIOS but it looks like
you're headed down that path already :-? Also, don't forget to check
each VIOS if you're running dual VIOSs.
