Hi.

If you grep /var/log/dmesg (or any logfile with boot messages) for eth0
or eth1, you should be able to find out.

Example from my machine:

$ grep eth0 /var/log/dmesg
eth0: SiS 900 Internal MII PHY transceiver found at address 1.
eth0: Using transceiver found at address 1 as default
eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xec00, IRQ 18, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
