dmesg produces some message from the kernel which may be useful if your trying to fix a problem. As list is large try piping output through grep searching for hardware item's name:

Code:

dmesg | grep -i "hardware name"

Also try looking at the output of lsmod. This shows all the modules in your memory being used for your hardware.

lspci lists all pci devices on your system that identify with bios calls correctly...

lsusb lists all devices attached to the usb bus that linux has identified...
