Command that show hardware devices and associated s/w driver

Asked by William Pabon

Hi:
Is there a CLI command that would show a list of the hardware devices recognized by the OS (like lshw) and the s/w driver that the system assigns to it? If there is no driver, it should also tell it. Thanks.

sudo lshw

will show the drive, look for "driver=" in the output

You can make it more intelligent with:

sudo lshw | egrep '\*\-|desctiption|product|driver' | grep -v bank

There is also lshw-gtk which is a GUI version. May be more useful too
