Help with working out network driver and hardware

I cant seem to find a way to work this out:

So I checked the network interfaces on my box and its showing re0 as the main interface. (running pfsense with other network cards showing igb'x')

I thought that's odd as they should all be intel interfaces.

How can I check what the interface hardware is and what driver it is using?

The motherboard is PRIME-X470-PRO and shows intel gigabit ethernet on the website.

Any help appreciated

Well its definitely a Realtek Nic.

Hmm maybe this is not the board I thought it was.

Thanks

sysutils/dmidecode can often be used to identify the board. Then you don't have to open the machine to have a look.

For example:
Code: 
Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 15 bytes
Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: MSI
        Product Name: C847MS-E33 (MS-7835)
        Version: 1.0
        Serial Number: To be filled by O.E.M.
        Asset Tag: To be filled by O.E.M.
        Features:
                Board is a hosting board
                Board is replaceable
        Location In Chassis: To be filled by O.E.M.
        Chassis Handle: 0x0003
        Type: Motherboard
        Contained Object Handles: 0

Right I was on the wrong box, they boards are the opposite way round to what I thought.

That explains it all.
