i don't know, but it will most likely be one of the following:
  tulip, rtl8139, 8139too, or ne.

just try modprobe each one in turn, and then if that does not work,
try all in /lib/modules/.../net/* - your machine might lock up, but
only the right driver will successfully install as a module... it's a
hack, but it works.
