I'm not sure what you mean exactly. But whatever it is that you mean, the answer is almost certainly going to vary from system to system.
First, processor id. Do you mean what kind of processor? There is the uname command which is mandated by standards to be everywhere. And "uname -m" is going to give so kind of useful information everywhere (I would be interested to hear of any exceptions). On HP-UX, I get "9000/859" as one example. But with SunOS, I get "sun4u", which sun calls the "platform". Sun has a utility /usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag that can give more info. HP has a "model" command that can also give more info.
Now for network card id. Do you mean the mac address? On sun it's "ifconfig -a" and on HP it's "lanscan". If you mean the tcp/ip address, then on both systems it's "netstat -in".
