Running diagnostics and looking at your system configuration will tell
you what interrupt level and memory addresses your ethernet card is
set to.  Then you can match that in devices.  So you don't have to
take the box apart and pull the card.  It will also tell you if you
have any other adapters which have overlaps or conflicts in terms of
interrupt levels, and I/O space or AT bus memory overlaps, at least
for your IBM supplied adapters.

Diagnostics will also (look under communications utilities) bounce a
message off of the ethernet, so that you can verify the connections
you have back to the DELNI.

Yes, I know that if diagnostics can do it, devices should..... :-)
