See network connection speed via GeekTool
Authored by: mmnw on Aug 26, '09 02:18:56PM
This is a nice hint, even if you don't use geektool. I didn't know about airport -I before.
If you run airport -I you will see other valuable information besides network speed you might be interested in. An exotic example would be noise ratios (might be interesting while placing your gear). More common information is the actual channel your network is on, and the authentication it's using. (I couldn't believe it first, neither Network Utility, nor System Preferences delivers this information).
