How can I get the maximum network card capacity
I want to be able to know what is the maximum capacity of my network card in my Ubuntu 18 machine. I use sudo nethogs and gets output like:
NetHogs version 0.8.5-2
PID USER PROGRAM DEV SENT RECEIVED
1724 x /usr/lib/firefox/firefox wlp2s0 0.030 0.031 KB/sec
? root unknown TCP 0.000 0.000 KB/sec
TOTAL 0.030 0.031 KB/sec
It tells me about the bandwidth used in sent/received. But how can I know the capacity (to what extent can I increase the amount of traffic before bottleneck).

I'm confused, what do you mean by "maximum capacity".... Are you trying to figure out the maximum speed of your network adapter?

You can use these commands from the CLI.
Hit Ctrl + Alt + T from the desktop, or load up your preferred terminal.
Find your adapter name using ifconfig.
Use:
dmesg | grep eth0
Or:
mii-tool -v eth0
