Stick in a linux or freebsd cd and boot from it, it oughta say in the booting messages. At least, that's what I'd do...

Look onna box?

Oh, stick it into a win98/me/xp machine and see what it thinks.

If win2k can't detect it, it is more than likely using a linksys chipset or, rather less likely, its an old isa card. It will pickup realtek 8029 and 8139 based cards, as well as 3com and intel cards.
