Usage

bash-2.05# get_network_adapter.sh -h get_network_adapter.sh - get the status of a network adapter Usage: get_network_adapter.sh adapter [kstat|ndd] kstat - use kstat, ndd - use ndd; default: use the approbiate method for the adapter. Hint: The output of kstat maybe wrong if it is not supported by the driver! bash-2.05#
