That depends on which NIC it is. If it's a MII-based NIC,For example: | Code: | moocha ~ # mii-tool eth0
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok |
(FD = Full Duplex).
If mii-tool doesn't cooperate or isn't enough, you may want to look at the ethtool and/or nictools packages.

It's actually sys-apps/mii-diag rather than mii-tools. The other poster probably mistyped because he was thinking about ethtool when he posted.

Argh, my bad. mii-tool is part of the net-tools package which is already present on any Gentoo system. I apologize  .
