11 months agoYou could also check the symlinks for the device in the sysfs. The word after “drivers” below for a given network interface (eth0 below) is usually the name of the driver (cpsw below):
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 9 10:41 /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver -> ../../../../bus/platform/drivers/cpsw
Or run lsmod
and see if anything jumps out.
Either way, once you find the driver name, run modinfo
to get version and other information about specific drivers.
