Need to determine the Network Access Type of an Ethernet adapter
Comment

To determine the network access type of an Ethernet adapter in Python, you can use the psutil
library, which provides an easy way to access system and network-related information. First, you need to install the psutil
library if you haven't already:
bashpip install psutil
Then, you can use the following Python code to retrieve the network access type of the Ethernet adapter:
pythonimport psutil
def get_ethernet_adapter_access_type():
interfaces = psutil.net_if_stats()
for interface, stats in interfaces.items():
if stats.isup and "Ethernet" in interface:
return stats.duplex
return None
def access_type_to_string(access_type):
if access_type == psutil.NIC_DUPLEX_FULL:
return "Full Duplex"
elif access_type == psutil.NIC_DUPLEX_HALF:
return "Half Duplex"
else:
return "Unknown"
if __name__ == "__main__":
access_type = get_ethernet_adapter_access_type()
if access_type is not None:
print(f"Ethernet Adapter Access Type: {access_type_to_string(access_type)}")
else:
print("Ethernet Adapter not found or not connected.")
This code will print the network access type (Full Duplex, Half Duplex, or Unknown) of the Ethernet adapter if it is found and connected. Note that the code only checks for the Ethernet interface. If you have multiple Ethernet adapters or other network interfaces, you may need to adjust the code accordingly to select the specific adapter you want to check.
