You could roll out your own. Something along the lines of this:

   V=$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/device/vendor)
   D=$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/device/device)
   C=$(lspci -d $V:$D
   echo $C

You'll likely need to knock this idea into better shape and throw in a
few seds, greps and cuts to get exactly what you want.
