Ascertaining NIC Driver Version

[vrwmiller at gmail.com]

Thanks, Chuck! I Googled for an answer for a while and didn't find much. I  
did find that the particular driver I was interested did have a version  
number in the source, but the question actually came from a user who  
doesn't have source trees on their hosts.
