What ethernet am I using?

I am trying to figure out what ethernet port I've got... lspci -nn yields...

00:0a.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [10de:054c] (rev a2)

I believe that adapter should be supported by the forcedeth module included with the kernel.

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?
