I googled around but most instructions refer to older versions, in which there is a "Device Manager" program in the Control Center.

The closest I could find in Katya is "System Information", which lists network interfaces and stats about them, but not manufacturer and model, which are all I need now.

Any clues?

The terminal command lspci -vq will print a long list of installed hardware, including wireless card model.

    Try something like lspci -vq | grep -i wireless -B 1 -A 5 to look only for wireless cards.

  • -vq is meant to be human readable. Try one of the -mflags and select the parts you want. Like this: lspci -vmm |sed -n '/wireless/I,/^$/p'

  • @patricvacek lspci -vq | grep -i wireless -B 1 -A 5 retuns nothing. What does that mean.

  • @ShubhamNaik it means when there is a match, show also one line before it and 5 lines after it.
