Actually; Ethernet badly needs something like this too. I would kill to be able to do something like:
ifconfig eth0 speed 100 duplex full
o across different networks cards -- I've been thinking about it of late as I had to battle with this earlier this week; depending on what network card you use, you need different magic incarnations to do the above.
A standard interface is really needed; unless anyone objects I may look at drafting something up -- but it will require some input if it is not to look completely Ethernet centric.
