Said so on the chip before I stuffed in the socket and hid it with the
fan. :-)

uname will tell you so; it reads it from the chip's banner.  But to
really know what Linux thinks, you grovel through dmesg output for
CPUs and which buses they're attached to.  (NetBSD's output is
probably even more educational.)

forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.56.
forcedeth: using HIGHDMA
eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 010f1:2895 bound to 0000:00:0a.0
forcedeth: using HIGHDMA
eth1: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 010f1:2895 bound to 0000:80:0a.0

Note the "reverse engineered".  That's why I suspect the occasional
"works for me" bug.
