Well, I need to clarify the question.
I would like to determine the banwidth the card is getting from the network. For an ethernet, it could be either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, is there any way of knowing from inside the kernel how much is the bandwidth the card is actually receiving from the network, especially when it is capable of getting either 10Mbps or 100Mbps?
