SLES9 All NICS have same name

[steve drake]

ML370-G5 embedded nic (NC373i) and pci-e nic (NC360T) display the same name in YaST - "Hewlett-Packard Company Ethernet Controller".
This makes configuration difficult as you cannot distinguish between the embedded nic ports and the pci-e (NC360T) nic ports.
This was not a problem with the onboard nics and pci-x nics available for the ML370-G2, ML370-G3 and the ML370-G4. In all cases, the names for the onboard nics were different from the add-in cards.
Shouldn't the name as detected by the OS of the NC360T (intel chip) be different from the NC373i (broadcom chip)?

Shalom,

Intel NIC's should definitely show up as different than broadcomm.

Some recent Intel chips under certain system bios don't show up at all. This may be the issue.

lspci shows that the add-in pci-e nc360t nic is: Ethernet Controller: Intel Corp. 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller -- and -- the nc373i embedded nic is Ethernet Controller: Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device 164c rev11.
However, YaST --> Hardware Info --> Network Card shows all 4 ports with the same name that is also displayed in the "Model" heading of each entry: Hewlett-Packard Company Ethernet Controller. \
Is this info collected from the BIOS? Anyone know how I can influence/change it so YaST displays my cards with different names?

Also, I tried "ethtool -p ethX" to identify which port is which - but it doesn't work with the embedded nic - only the nc360t.
