We cannot tell until you check the vendor:device ID pair.  It's a one-liner:

for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1
}'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done

Then you can find out if the driver is supported by the kernel.

All the details are in #4 of the ELRepo FAQ at:
