I'm not sure how to google for this (that should cover my ass for some
flames)
what I want is to issue a command at a prompt that will tell me the NIC's
I have installed on my box
now before I get overloaded with 'ifconfig -a' or 'man ifconfig' replys
the problem is I want only the 'rl0' or 'xl0' or w/ever the case may be
My guess is some grep or other needs piping in.. but guesses so far havent
got the desired result
Also dmesg is no good because its also giving too much info
TIA
