If you cannot determine the PCI card using software, the next best solution is to examine the card. It is common that the card has the manufacturer and model number printed on the card. If no model or manufacturer is listed, look for another identification on the card, such as an FCC identification number. For additional information about FCC numbers, see our FCC definition page.
