Intel or Broadcom.

# dmesg| grep eth 
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95703A30U) rev 1002 PHY(5703)] (PCIX:133MHz:64-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:10:18:01:99:3f
eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95701A10) rev 0105 PHY(5701)] (PCIX:133MHz:64-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:06:5b:8d:3c:98

eth3:  Mem:0xfcd20000  IRQ:24  Speed:N/A  Duplex:N/A

eth3 is the Intel chipset, eth0 is the Broadcom.

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
