#### Network adapter sysfs hardware, IP CIDR & statistics inspector for Linux

Network Adapter Hardware Inspector is a desktop network interface hardware,
sysfs attribute, IP configuration, and packet counter viewer for Linux systems.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by desktop network interface inventory
utilities such as NetworkInterfacesView, it reads live /sys/class/net attributes,
device bus uevent metadata, /proc/net routing and IPv6 tables, socket ioctl
addresses, and resolver settings without modifying system network configuration.

Key Features:

* Sysfs Hardware & Bus Telemetry: Reads /sys/class/net/<iface> attributes including
  MAC address, broadcast, MTU, operstate, link speed, duplex, tx\_queue\_len, ARPHRD
  hardware type, ifindex, iflink, IFF bitmask flags, carrier state, carrier changes,
  hardware RX/TX queue counts, and PCI/VMBUS/virtio/USB driver and bus IDs.
* IPv4/IPv6 CIDR, Routing & DNS View: Enumerates interface IPv4 CIDR addresses and
  broadcasts, /proc/net/if\_inet6 IPv6 prefixes and scopes, /proc/net/route gateways,
  /proc/net/arp neighbor entries, and /etc/resolv.conf DNS nameservers.
* Packet & Error Counter Matrix: Inspects all 24 /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics
  counters (RX/TX bytes, packets, errors, drops, collisions, multicast, CRC/frame)
  alongside a visual traffic comparison chart.
* Side-by-Side NIC Comparison & Reports: Compares any two network adapters across
  hardware, sysfs, queue, and IP parameters and exports HTML, CSV, and JSON reports.
