'lspci -v' gives:

00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation: Unknown device 9300 (rev 31)
             Subsystem: Unknown device 17f2:2c02
             Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
             I/O ports at d000 [size=256]
             Memory at e2020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
             Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=129K]
             Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

The reason I say it is a 3Com 910, is because that's the way windows
recognizes it. The PC is  adual boot Win2k/Red Hat and Win2k Shows it to be
a 3Com910: 3Com 3C910 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller (3CSOHO1008-TX
Compatible).
The motheboard vendor only mentions it to be a 3Com card.

Greetings,
Alberto
