lspci -v and lsmod


What axactly does the information provided by the following commands (lspci -v and lsmod) tell you?
Does lspci verify that the listed device has drivers installed arleady?

Hello,

Have you read the man pages about those commands? The man pages will tell you what they are about. But lspci will list all of your PCI devices, and lsmod will list all loaded modules that are in use by and for your kernel.

Cheers,

Josh

Code:
lspci -k
will list the kernel driver being used for the device in question.
ciao,
