use Ethereal to get this information, without having to login to each machine
and get the data.


What do you mean by "get the NIC information"?
If you mean information such as the type of NIC, the MAC address of the NIC, the IP address or addresses assigned to the NIC, etc., no, Ethereal isn't a tool for doing that. Perhaps some of the DMTF mechanisms:

can be used, although if the servers aren't "PC" servers (Suns, HP boxes, XServes, etc.) those might not be available.
