No access to any system right now :( so just some ideas that came to my
mind.
Check output of
hwinfo --network_ctrl
Also worth a try is /var/log/boot.msg and have a look at the section
where the
driver gets loaded. Perhaps it displays the firmware version of the
adapters.
netdiag and ethtool packages might also contain tools and switches to query
the adapters.
