Can anybody point me in the right direction to find what the nic is, and
more importantly which driver to use? It's an astonishingly humble

Mark,
  You might want to try one of the small LiveCD distros to see what
hardware they detect.

are two of them. Their small size means they boot very quickly.
  Did you try the Ubuntu 6.10 in Live CD mode? Did the nic work OK then?
