speed of network connection

[Jon Shorie]

Does anyone know how I can find out the speed of my network connection on a 
fedora machine?

On my ubunto boxen, I do a 

dmesg | grep eth0

and it usually tells me 

something like:

[   24.527986] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[ 2466.508627] e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Down
[ 2472.385648] e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full 
Duplex

but on fedora, I get:

eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xf883e000, 00:16:e6:6c:42:a1, IRQ 17
r8169: eth0: link up
r8169: eth0: link up
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
r8169: eth0: link down
r8169: eth0: link up

a uname -r gives me:
2.6.20-1.2944.fc6

any suggestions?  I want to know if I am getting a 100 or 1000 mb/s 
connection.

Thank you
