Hi there. I am wanting to make a tool for work to determine the maximum speed output of a wired network. This will depend on cabling and hardware so I would like to build a small battery powered device to test without the need for a PC or laptop.
Does anybody know if it is possible to power a 10/100/1000 network card standalone, without a PC. When plugged into the network, have the status lights on the plug flash to identify an active wired network and it's speed?
