Annoying very. |

Q: Top posting is...? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
(Of course, note that you should trim quotes to the context to which you |
| 23 |
are replying as well, which top-quoting, as opposed to top-posting, |
| 24 |
encourages. If you would have trimmed what you were quoting to the |
| 25 |
above, sufficient to establish context, then I would not have needed to do |
| 26 |
it for you, here, and the context would have been sufficiently established |
| 27 |
so all I would have needed to do would have been to post my reply, plus |
| 28 |
possibly trimming out deeper nested quoting, if you had included it, since |
| 29 |
it's no longer necessary to establish the context to which I'm now |
| 30 |
replying.) |

To answer your question, try lspci (ls for the PCI bus). If the output |
| 33 |
isn't verbose enough to give you the detail you need, try lspci -v (for |
| 34 |
verbose). It's a /very/ handy program to keep in your virtual toolbox, |
| 35 |
particularly if you don't fancy opening up your box all the time to read |
| 36 |
stuff off of the various chips and cards, let alone that even doing that |
| 37 |
wouldn't directly give you the same level of detail that lspci -v does. |
| 38 |
lspci is part of pciutils, in case you don't already have it merged, but |
| 39 |
you likely do, at least if you have either alsa-utils or hotplug merged. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
FWIW, there's also a parallel lsusb, part of (no surprise) usbutils. =8^) |
