Are you read the wiki? If not, look at:

This page contains some informations about standards Ethernet cards.

Your motherboard is probably an ASUS P4P800 SE or a P5P800 SE.
So, the Ethernet controller is a
Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Lan Controller.
This controller is used on many ASUS boards.
You can find on Wikipedia some informations about Marvel controllers and their specifications.

This "embedded" Ethernet port is on the PCI bus as well... you'll need to determine the vendor/product number and write a driver, presuming it isn't ne2k compatible.
If it doesn't show up on the bus, then go into your BIOS and enable it.
