Any commands like lspci are run from the command line, open a terminal, I think DSL has rxvt or you can run it from the prompt after DSL boots but before you start X Windows.
I think DSL does'nt have lspci so if not, run scanpci, this will show you all the PCI cards installed and usually picks up Winmodems at least on my DSL it does. It will give you a vendor name also.
The drivers have to be compiled and that means installing compiling tools and kernel headers and in most cases kernel source. I do it the easy way, after I build the drivers for a certain kernel I save them for the next distro using that kernel and sometimes a different kernel by editing some files tho thats touchy cause you can taint the kernel that way.
But it sure beats installing everything just to build a couple of drivers.
Good luck,
