Thanks for the pointers planetscape!

The first link, about using wmic is also what goibhniu refers to in id:639059, and remains very interesting to me. It is new to me, and may help with this or other issues I'm looking to solve.

The second link, about accessing motherboard information, is something that will show me information about the motherboard, not devices attached to the motherboard. However, this was a good pointer that eventually led me to accessing on-board devices, which should show me what I'm hoping for. Alas, on my IBM T60, the only on-board-device listed is the IBM Embedded Security hardware. This could be making sense, as the ethernet is (I believe) a teeny-tiny PCI board not really part of the motherboard.

I'm slowly realizing it might be hard to identify hardware-devices-not-really-part-of-the-motherboard-but-residing-inside-the-computer-well-enough-that-it-is-somewhat-difficult-to-remove.
