      Can someone help me out ... I am trying to remember what command I had used to get info on the NIC. I remembered using Dmesg; however, when I tried I get this:

      [2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@NollipfSense.nollipfsense.lan]/root: dmesg igb0 grep
      usage: dmesg [-ac] [-M core [-N system]]
      [2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@NollipfSense.nollipfsense.lan]/root: dmesg igb0 | grep
      usage: dmesg [-ac] [-M core [-N system]]
      Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
      Try `grep --help' for more information.
      [2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@NollipfSense.nollipfsense.lan]/root:

      I am trying to get driver info on igb0 or igb1 to share in another thread.
