Usage: lspci [<switches>]


Basic display modes:
-mm Produce machine-readable output(single -m for an obsolete format)
-t Show bus tree


Display options:
-v Be verbose (-vv for very verbose)
-k Show kernel drivers handling eachdevice
-x Show hex-dump of the standard partof the config space
-xxx Show hex-dump of the whole configspace (dangerous; root only)
-xxxx Show hex-dump of the 4096-byteextended config space (root only)
-b Bus-centric view (addresses andIRQ's as seen by the bus)
-D Always show domain numbers


Resolving of device ID's to names:
-n Show numeric ID's
-nn Show both textual and numeric ID's(names & numbers)
-q Query the PCI ID database forunknown ID's via DNS
-qq As above, but re-query locallycached entries
-Q Query the PCI ID database for allID's via DNS


Selection of devices:
-s[[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]] Showonly devices in selected slots
-d [<vendor>]:[<device>] Showonly devices with specified ID's


Other options:
-i <file> Use specified IDdatabase instead of /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz
-p <file> Look up kernel modulesin a given file instead of default modules.pcimap
-M Enable `bus mapping' mode(dangerous; root only)


PCI access options:
-A <method> Use the specified PCIaccess method (see `-A help' for a list)
-O <par>=<val> Set PCIaccess parameter (see `-O help' for a list)
-G Enable PCI access debugging
-H <mode> Use direct hardwareaccess (<mode> = 1 or 2)
-F <file> Read PCI configurationdump from a given file

Hi, that first command is all one line.
please copy and paste the entire line.

lspci -nn | egrep '0200|0280'

thanks.

Hi, this is what that command looks like when
issued as one single line.
code: lspci -nn | egrep '0200|0280'
output example: from my pc

2 lines output.
please try again.

# lspci -nn | egrep 'zero-two-zero-zero|zero-two-eight-zero' <- example,,Not a ccommand

thanks.

Hi, thanks ! do you have a function key as in
fn/f2 to turn on/off your wireless, I see that its
hardblocked. If you know the key fucntion please
press it one time. also please do..
for ease please copy and paste the commands.

sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
modprobe b43

thanks.

It says it was unable to locate for the second command. There is a wireless button that you can push and it lights up however its not working either
