Problem
I have a Linux machine with two Ethernet cards both using the Intel e1000 driver. lspci reports different models of Ethernet cards, but I can't tell which is eth0 and which is eth1. Other than turning off the machine and reading the chips, how can I tell which model is eth0 and which is eth1?

Fix for: How to tell which card is eth0 and which is eth1?
Low Risk
I haven't tried it myself, but try the ethtool command. With ethtool -p eth0 you can get the LEDs on the card to blink. You can then easily identify which card is blinking.
