Good if you want to know what's plugged in. Similar functionality with similar verbosity options.

It doesn't show USB hardware other than the USB busses. I often ask people to post the output of it here when trying to identify their wireless hardware. nn will let you simply know the hardware ID which is great for searching.īut it is only a very simple, quick way of getting a list of hardware. The -k argument is a good way to find out which kernel driver a piece of hardware is using. It has varying levels of verbosity so you can get more information out of it with -v and -vv flags if you want it.
Lspci will show you most of your hardware in a nice quick way.
