Well, excuse me for the delay on this summary.
Thanks to Joe Carrico who suggested to have a look at the /var/adm/messages
file.
Here is another "more technical" answer given by David Hull:
>If snmpd is installed, you should be able to do
># snmp_request localhost public get 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5.1
>where public is the snmp community string. This on my box returned a
>value of 10000000.
>
>(note that 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5.1 is your first nic,
>1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5.2 is your second, and so on.
>You can find out how many nics you have by querying 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0 >my
>result of this query is 4. So, that means on the speed, the last >number
>is 1 - 4. 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.1-4 will give you the names.

>See the following session script:
># snmp_request localhost public get 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0
>1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0 = 4
># snmp_request localhost public get 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.1
>1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.1 = tu DEC TULIP (10/100) Ethernet Interface
># snmp_request localhost public get 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.3
