The easiest way, IMO, is to open a terminal and enter "/sbin/lspci" which will print a list of several items, one of which should be your NIC. [sample output] [jamesk@athena jamesk]$ /sbin/lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8366/A/7 [Apollo KT266/A/333] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8366/A/7 [Apollo KT266/A/333 AGP] 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller <- this is the NIC in my main box. The output usually tells you what the chipset is, rather than the model of NIC. As the Driver needed relates to the chipset used this is actually rather handy.
