Hi Don

The PCI VEN number 14E4 for example tells you what manufacturer makes  
the device.
You should be able to look it up on www.pcidatabase.com. Vendor 14E4  
is Broadcom. You should also try to find the device ID in the  
diagnostics. That will narrow it to the specific device which should  
help in finding the driver.
All pci devices must advertise the vendor ID and device ID. It is  
required by the PCI spec
