Network Adapter Testing

[rlemoine002 0]

I am trying to whip up an AutoIt3 script that will test a network card that has been installed, but is not connected to a network.  I made an Ethernet Loopback, but I'm not sure if there is really any way to test if the card is any good or not without actually connecting it to an active network.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

What could I check for that would show me that the individual ports are any good?

Also, I should mention that I am new to autoIt.

Thank you in advance.
