lspci - list all PCI devices

[grangerx]

useful when trying to figure out what network cards are in a machine running linux. It basically retrieves all data about the PCI bus devices and displays them in a terminal window.

Location of interface configuration files

[grangerx]

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

files of import:
ifcfg-eth* (dhcp/ip-address config for each nic)
ifup (command to bring up "named" nic)

/etc/modules.conf - contains aliases for eth* cards
