on fc6 i need to know the driver of one of my NICs. I plugged it in and it works fine, but i would like to know what driver is being used all the same.
'lspci' lists some info, but i'm not sure if there are other cmds that will give me more.
One more question, purely academic, how could I figure out what lspci output is connected to which Ethernet interface? (I just used the GUI network tool to figure this out, but I'm sure theres a way to do it via the CLI) In other words how would I know that lspci output "ADMtek NC100" is related to eth1.
It looks to me like you have three network Controllers betwee the Intel PCI Add in card, AMD Net (on board Net work interface card) and the RealTalk PCI Add in card. To check you NIC driver ctrl+alt+f1 to inter in to a command line interface and enter root for your user name and the administrative password you selected in the installation process hitting the return key after you enter each credential.
