How to get network Adapter names & types in linux

[paturi1710]

I am trying to get Network adapter names & types in linux using ioctl system calls.
I am getting "etho" as name. I think I am getting interface name not adapter name.
Please suggest how i can get adapter names & types in linux from my C program.

currently i used ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifr);

i could able to get mac address.

similarly is there any way to get the list of adapter names & types.
Please help me.

Hi paturi1710
As root run 'lspci -vv' . This shows all pci controllers, adapters etc. in some level of detail. Not sure if this will help but it is a great command anyway. Cheers...
