lspci yields following

code:

1:00.0 ethernet controller: broadcom corporation netlink bcm5906m fast ethernet pci express (rev 02) 02:00.0 network controller: broadcom corporation bcm4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

i'm using proprietary drivers broadcom. also, not @ liberty monkey around either wifi routers - lot of people hit if ever.
