Out of curiosity, in linux, how do we check
- the make/type of ethernet card
- the wireless chipset
- the video card

used in a computer?

With distro-agnostic tools like dmesg, lspci and lshw?

Thanks,

lshw did the work best but needs installing
lspci comes next, but wireless is named kind of differently.

Anyway, both serves the purpose well.
