dmesg | more should give you what you are looking for. It may also be used /proc (don't have my trusty Linux box in front of me to verify...)

dmesg | grep eth0

And you should see something like this:

bash-2.05a$ dmesg | grep eth0
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xe092ff00, 00:50:ba:d6:44:d0, IRQ 4
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139B'
eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 45e1.
