thanks Roberto & Bob. 

ethstats - script that quickly measures network device throughput.

was what I was looking for. I meant that I can grab those network speed in
clear text in scripts. The next 2 also show network speed in clear text,
but wasn't I was looking for.

ethstatus - console-based ethernet statistics monitor
nload - A realtime console network usage monitor

thanks again

cheers
