Lets say you have Linux running a generic machine and internet works fine but you need to note some specs on the machine. Is there a simple way I can SSH into the box and find out what eth0 is? I know they can often use a specific Linux NIC driver like tulip however I am looking for a way to ID the vendor / model of the NIC. Is this possible?
"lspci -v" will give you much more hardware information.
And it is allways avail, since after a few days the information in dmesg can be log-rotated and you can loose that info.
