'lspci -v' should give you all information about PCI devices it can
find although 'lspci -tv' output would be likely more useful on the
first blush. You can be also quite a bit more selective and/or
demanding. 'man lspci' for a lot of information.
I did write everything down before wiping Linpus, but I'm
afraid I put it into the proverbial "safe place".
Linux is rather good about finding such details so "safe places",
especially when they tend to go out-of-sync, are not that needed.
'dmesg' likely tells also all you need to know (and quite a bit
more).
