I've just found this -

Pcnet_cs is a driver for all NS8390-based PCMCIA ethernet cards. It can use 
either polled IO or a shared memory window to exchange data with the card. 
The driver first tests for a shared memory buffer, falling back on polled IO 
if the memory test fails. When this driver is bound to a card, it allocates 
the next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#). This device name will be 
reported in the kernel log file, and passed on to cardmgr(8).

So - does anyone know which device from the list belongs to the NS8390 group?
