It will give you something like this: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8753 [P4X266 AGP] (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8633 [Apollo Pro266 AGP] 00:08.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT86C100A [Rhine] (rev 06) 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) 00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07) 00:0a.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 07) 00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 PCI to ISA Bridge 00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.

VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 70) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] In this case my built-in ethernet controller is identified as: 00:08.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT86C100A [Rhine] (rev 06) all I have to do is load the via-rhine module to get ethernet to work. If you can't figure things out, please reply and attach the output of lspci so that we can recommend a course of action. Hope that helps, Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <bijan@psq.com> http://www.crasseux.com
