You don't need documentation to find out which chipset you have. lspci
will tell you.

Not surprising. People selling cheap computers typically don't know
anything about the products they're selling.

If you have a motherboard with a VIA chipset and a VIA CPU, it's highly
probable that the built-in NIC is a VIA-Rhine. You can find out for
yourself like so:
samantha:~$ lspci | grep Ether
0000:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102
[Rhine-II] (rev 74)
...so the NIC on this machine here is a VIA-Rhine, which means I need to
do "modprobe via-rhine" followed by "dhcpcd eth0" or "ifconfig eth0
192.168.X.Y up" for the network to work. HTH,
