Do grep -C1 Eth /proc/pci to find all (pci) NICs descriptions and their IRQ. You can correlate it with the output of ifconfig (it has the IRQ for each working NIC). I'm not sure, but I think the NICs order in /proc/pci is the eth<n> order (it seems so on several machines with more than one NIC). BTW. You can run this as unprivileged user (unlike mii-tool or lspci).
