Now I have to remember which *PCI slot* my Ethernet card is in when I run "ifconfig" unless I want to dig through the full listing.
What do you mean, "slot"? All of my servers, and our systems at home, the NIC's on the m/b.
I know what you mean, but on those systems, the Ethernet MAC chip is still on the PCI[e] bus, so it still gets a slot number. If you say lspci, it's generally the second number, between the colon and dot.
Fun fact: the MAC chip isn't always on a PCI[e] bus. On the Raspberry Pi, it's on the USB bus, despite the fact that it's soldered to the PCB!
