Beartooth,

Try the command:
lspci | grep Eth

My copper Gb recepticle on the mother board appears as:

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit 
Ethernet Controller (Copper)
04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit 
Ethernet Controller (Copper)

This should show you what hw is in the PCI bus for ethernet function.

The dmesg file usually shows a driver to be used.
My ethernet entries are:

e1000: 0000:04:00.0: e1000_probe: (PCI Express:2.5Gb/s:Width x4) 
00:e0:81:74:11:cf
e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.1[B] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 82
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.1 to 64
e1000: 0000:04:00.1: e1000_probe: (PCI Express:2.5Gb/s:Width x4) 
00:e0:81:74:11:ce
