Question about my server's network card

Hi all,

Is there a way to check the network card type that has been installed by my hosting company on my server? Server specs:

Processor Name Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E1200 @ 1.60GHz
Vendor ID GenuineIntel
Processor Speed (MHz) 1200.000
Processor Name Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E1200 @ 1.60GHz
Vendor ID GenuineIntel
Processor Speed (MHz) 1200.000
Total Memory 968628 kB
Free Memory 14756 kB
Total Swap Memory 2096472 kB
Free Swap Memory 2096428 kB
System Uptime 16 Days, 21 Hours and 54 Minutes
Apache 1.3.41 Running
DirectAdmin 1.31.4 Running
Exim 4.68 Running
MySQL 5.0.45 Running
Named 9.4.2b1 Running
ProFTPd 1.3.1 Running
sshd Running
vm-Pop3d 1.1.7f-DA-2 Running

Thanks!

If you have shell access, or possibly root access, you can try:

lspci (if the pci tools are installed on your server build)

it should report a number of lines containing lines like:

Code:

01:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82547GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
03:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller

I have root access but I just don't know how to run a command with direct admin|confused|
Could you explain step by step how I should run lspci?

Thank you

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...
