This is a very simple and interesting approach.
I checked suggested folder and found alot of files most of them having
very promising names but no content, zero length. I only found
information regarding network card at /sys/class/net/eth0 or eth1.

Is there any way to unveil it's contents?
Is this folder structure common to all linux dstributions?
