Quick Linux question

Anyone know how to verify your NIC speed in Linux? I'm using SUSE 12.3, if that makes any difference - all I want to know is that it's working at gigabit. I've had a quick google around and the ethtool's been suggested, but after trying to run I get the message that it can't be found.
HALP.

Code:
tv@tvserver:~$ sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed Speed: 1000Mb/s
That worked for me. (On ubuntu 12.04.2)
Do you have ethtool installed? I had to install it.

I would probably look at the led color on the switch. They are usually different colors when they are 100 or 1000.

Not all unfortunately. I have 4 gigabit routers. 2 have an extra LED for 1000mbit, the other 2 just have a single LED.

And it doesn't do green or yellow depending on the speed? That's strange!

You don't need two. You can have multiple LED chips in a single LED "bulb", and have it change colours depending on which combination is powered.

I know, I was only pointing out that 2 of my routers don't have anything to show that it's gigabit or not, and it doesn't change colour. Whereas the other two have an extra LED for gigabit connections.
Ken: it was a little bit of a let down when I bought them that I couldn't tell the difference between connections, but I know they're working at 1000 mbit so I guess it doesn't matter.

Ah, just thought the thing was built in.
:-$
I'll try that out when I'm back on the laptop, thanks.
Ken - the router's 3 floors up, I'm not sure I have the energy at the moment to make that trip. Plus I need to put the laptop on again which is going to take more energy. At present I'm trying to build up enough energy to fall asleep.

I know that feeling! My main switch is in my attic, I despise going up there.
