Good way to determine network card

Is where a better way to find a network card than trial and error? 

This is what I've been trying:
modprobe <modules>
/etc/rc.d/network restart
Repeat

The network card I have is built in to my K8T-Neo.  The website says the drivers are for these cards:

Supports Realtek RTL8139/810x/c+/8169/8110 Gigabit Network chipsets

I've tried everything even remotely close to the above cards and nothing works.  When I type ifconfig I get nothing.

Re: Good way to determine network card

try

hwdetect --show-net

It should list the modules needed for your network.

hwd -h

Except to use hwd or lshwd you need to use the network to install.  I used to keep the hwd and required packages on a floppy for this purpose.
