According to lspci -vvxxx, the NIC is:
00:09.0 Network controller: Compaq Computer Corporation Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI UTP (rev 10)
        Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-

This page reports the netelligent driver to be named tlan
	http://www.thonix.net/oldpage/linux/kernel/nicdriver.php
and lsmod reports
	tlan                   31772  0
so I assume that that's the driver used.

Are the PCI device and vendor ID in the lspci listing above?

(No cardctl, this is a desktop machine with no pcmcia support currently
in, and presumably no pcmcia hardware)

Thanx!
