You might try:

cat /var/log/dmesg | grep eth

which on my servers will report back:

divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0
e100: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection
divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1
e100: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection

which shows there are 2 Intel NICs in that server and each uses the e100 driver... dmesg is the diag log buffered at boot time for/by the kernel. contains the load messages from drivers, so you look for what was loaded for the ethernet cards.

you need "shell" access as root (a command line prompt) on the server to run it. if you have a training wheels interface (web-menu server admin panel) look for "command shell" or something like that.

hope that helps some...
