I know what you mean, but on those systems, the Ethernet MAC chip is 
still on the PCI[e] bus, so it still gets a slot number.  If you say 
lspci, it's generally the second number, between the colon and dot.

Fun fact: the MAC chip isn't always on a PCI[e] bus.  On the Raspberry 
Pi, it's on the USB bus, despite the fact that it's soldered to the PCB!
