I think the current answer is they can't but I also wanted to confirm it
with this list. I had hoped I might be able to find it in /proc, /sys
or with a utility like ethtool or even ifconfig, but alas it's nowhere
to be seen. So if I'm correct, that leads to the second question of why
not? Would it be that tough to put it in under /sys/class/net/*? One
of the reasons I ask is that I'd like to be able to tell if a network
pipe is nearing its capacity and so be able to alert someone about it
when it occurs.
