Do a minimal install, then run
# pciconf -vl
The output looks something like (showing NICs only):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x032010bd chip=0x813910ec rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device = 'RT8139 (A/B/C/8130) Fast Ethernet Adapter'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:18:0: class=0x020000 card=0x764c1462 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x74
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
device = 'VT6102 Rhine II PCI Fast Ethernet Controller'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
Show us what you see there. If you can identify the NIC in the
output, you don't need to show the rest.
