Convergent Enhanced Ethernet

Hi. I guess this my dummy question is for super-gurus.
I'm on Red Hat' documentation regarding their RDMA capabilities over "convergent" Ethernet network. I read everything that I could find on inet, wikipedia etc. about the technology itself. I can't figure out, how can I determine if the network is "convergent" or it isn't? I realize that it may be not directly discoverable from within a standalone host, but what it involves to figure it out?

NAME
ex -- driver for 3Com Fast EtherLink XL (3c900, 3c905, 3c980) and similar PCI bus and cardbus Ethernet interfaces SYNOPSIS
ex* at cardbus? function ? ex* at pci? dev ? function ? DESCRIPTION
3Com Ethernet and Fast Ethernet cards supported by the ex driver include: 3c450-TX 10/100 Ethernet 3c555 MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet 3c575-TX Ethernet 3c575B-TX Ethernet 3c575CT Ethernet 3c656 MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet 3c656B MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet 3c656C MiniPCI 10/100 Ethernet 3c900-TPO Ethernet 3c900-COMBO Ethernet 3c900B-TPC Ethernet 3c900B-TPO Ethernet 3c900B-COMBO Ethernet 3c905-T4 10/100 Ethernet 3c905-TX 10/100 Ethernet 3c905B-COMBO 10/100 Ethernet 3c905B-FX 10/100 Ethernet 3c905B-T4 10/100 Ethernet 3c905B-TX 10/100 Ethernet 3c905CX-TX 10/100 Ethernet 3c980 Server Adapter 10/100 Ethernet 3c980C-TXM 10/100 Ethernet 3cSOHO100-TX 10/100 Ethernet All versions of the EtherLink XL (except the older 3c900 and 3c905) support IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware. The ex driver supports this feature of the chip. See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature. MEDIA SELECTION
Some of these network interfaces support the Media Independent Interface (MII), a bus which can have at least one arbitrary Physical inter- face (PHY) chip on it. NetBSD supports MII and has separate drivers for many different PHY chips, including ukphy(4), a generic PHY driver that can support many PHY chips that NetBSD does not yet have a specific driver for. Support for the PHY found on a given NIC must be configured into a NetBSD kernel config(1) for this driver to work properly in those cases. See ifmedia(4), and mii(4). DIAGNOSTICS
