Can anyone point me in the direction of querying via SSH (Libreelec) so I can find out exactly what this card is in order to find a driver for it?
You can check what chip you have by running
To get a list of Android kernel modules:

The only device udevadm returns is a AP5255 wireless chip. 3 separate devices, same id.
Going through the sys folder the network card is in the /sys/bus/mdio_bus/devices folder. It's stmmac-0:08. Phy_id = 0x01814400. Dmesg says
[ 0.419010@0] eth0: PHY ID 01814400 at 8 IRQ 41 (stmmac-0:08) active.
Android recognises the device the same way.
100Mbps is not enough for reliable streaming of "4K movies/series".
100Mbps is more than enough for streaming 4k (Netflix maxes out at 15Mbps for 4k tv/movies) it will struggle with some 4k bluray rips

Its certainly enough to stream remuxes of every movie released on UHD bluray so far. There will obviously come a point when that isn't so, but 100mbit is fine ATM.

No, it isn't. You can't watch a UHD BD folder structure with 100mbit.

No, it was tested and reported in this forum - 100MBit is not enough(most cases)

I've tested it myself, with Goodfellas - the largest movie I've remuxed (75mbit video, 5mbit audio) and advancedsettings.xml cache <memorysize> set to 1405000000 (same as I set on all my 2gb ram devices), via a NFS mounted share on a MiniM8SII 100mbit NIC box and watched the entire movie without problems.

100mbit is fine, for now. I expect that to change in the coming years, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I've tested it myself
Perfect. You can support now all users having stuttering by watching 4k videos
There are plenty of cases where 100Mbits is just not going to cut it, for example Ghost In The Shell and a some others I have seen.

Ghost in the shell UHD BD remux is around 70mbit combined video/audio and played back without issue when loaded from an NFS mounted share.
Try John Wick Chapter 2. It's ~95 Mbps.

It's ~85mbit, and I'll give it a try over the weekend. Thanks.

I made a crosscheck.
S905X box using internal 100MBit and external USB Gb
NFS share OS mount.
Results:
100Mbit - stuttering
1Gb - smooth
Conclusion:
My S905X box has a bad internal ethernet interface
My external USB 1Gb adapter is working well
It hits 90Mbps at places, and didn't play that smooth for me, also from an NFS share.
I guess you could mitigate the issue somewhat by creating a large buffer, but it doesn't always help, at least in my personal experience.
My conclusion is identical to Tim's. My S905X box also has a USB 1Gbit Ethernet.
Half Gigabit, because USB2 ist limited to 480 MBit.
That's 480MBit in total.
My adapter gets upto 320MBit down and 180MBit up.
But it's more than enough.
