identify physical network device by interface name in linux

Question

I have multiple USB to ethernet devices which are plugged to the same pc.

Is there a way to identify which one is mapped to which eth* network interface via usb port/etc ?

I have tried looking in lsusb and /proc, but haven't found anything useful.

Solution

The mapping between interface names and devices can be seen in /sys/class/net/

Example:

$ ls -la /sys/class/net
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Oct 29 12:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 56 root root 0 Oct 29 12:49 ..
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Oct 29 12:49 eth0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/net/eth0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Oct 29 12:49 lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo

My eth0 is on a PCI bus, device 0x19, as the symbolic link reveals.

Only eth0 is there (the pci network interface, non of the usb are there), so it doens't help.

This would work, but its not an option.
