If you do `lspci`, you should see your Broadcom device. On my system, I have: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) Look under /sys/devices. The /sys fs is fairly hard to interpret, but I have /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/net/eth0 The easier way is to do a `dmesg|less` and look for Broadcom or eth. For instance I have: [ 2.812841] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.3.10-k2 [ 2.813098] e1000e: Copyright(c) 1999 - 2011 Intel Corporation.
