Re: What ethernet am I using?
I believe that adapter should be supported by the forcedeth module included with the kernel.

Re: What ethernet am I using?
Haha; I am dual-booting windows and linux. it works fine on linux but I am trying to find a driver for windows. Is there a place I can look up 10de:054c to find out the exact type?

Re: What ethernet am I using?
Yeah; the problem is I can't seem to be able to find any information about the motherboard/chipset. It's a laptop - Compaq Presario F767NR...

Re: What ethernet am I using?
Yes; I've seen the drivers list on the hp site, but there is no ethernet driver available for 32-bit vista. That's why I am trying to use linux to find out the exact ethernet chip I've got. Any ideas?

Re: What ethernet am I using?
there's also a chance that
update-pciids(as root I think)
might get you a name instead of "unknown device".

Re: What ethernet am I using?
And as someone else mentioned, there might be updated drivers on the nvidia website. Look for your chipset there, nforce
