OK, I have managed to get an lspci:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 430VX - 82437VX TVX [Triton VX] (rev 01)
00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II] (rev 01)
00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371SB PIIX3 IDE [Natoma/Triton II]
00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] (rev 53)
00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Unknown device 168c:0013 (rev 01)

(I think the Ethernet controller is a wifi card)
