Bringing up unknown LAN card


I have a new PC with 2 LAN cards - one Realtek, and one built-in. I don't know neither the mac address of the second one, neither it's model. Ifconfig shows that there are 3 devices up: lo (loopback), eth0 (the Realtek) and dummy (???). How can I bring up properly the built-in card?

Errr... no. And I haven't installed X. It just is too much for that machine.

So, I understand that I could see the model of the card with lspcia cmd and 'mount' its MAC to ethX device via the arp command. Maybe the dummy device is that card unclean setted. How can I view the MAC?
