Yup, I would certainly get the information from the notebook that does still work, both to compair with this notebook (if you're sure they both use the same chip in the NIC) and also so you have it in case Windows does something to the working notebook someday. I would also suggest using mii-diag and natsemi-diag from http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html and getting the rom values from both of these programs.
