I think that the following lpsci output applies to my machine.
02:0c.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78)
        Subsystem: Dell Computer Corporation: Unknown device 010d
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at ec80 [size=128]
        Memory at fe1ffc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
        Expansion ROM at fe200000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: <available only to root>
I forgot to right some important things down.
The output is actually from its brother, on which I am not root.
