How to find out the version of the network card and how to install (update) the driver for it? Work completely under ubuntoy 11,10

    Network cards are different, from the usual ethernet and wifi to some exotic via com port.

    But in general, the technique is as follows. In the console, execute the lspci and lsusb commands (some network cards may hang on the usb port). We look through each name and we google. In principle, the device identifier that looks like xxxx: xxxx (where x is 0..9a..f) is important. If the network card is removable, then you can simply compare these lists before and after.

    There is another way. Immediately after loading, execute the dmesg in the console and look there. But here you often need to have experience.
