When I get a new system, or build one, I use this site to figure out what drivers I need for hardware:

There are two ways to work this.  Paste the results of lspci -n in the box or use the left side and look up by manufacturer.  First is the best if you have the system and second is best if you are looking to buy or build one. 

Hope that helps.
