grepping dmesg is insufficient.

What is this lshw and hwinfo you speak of?  My systems seem to be
lacking those commands.

farm-404: apt-cache search lshw 
lshw - information about hardware configuration
lshw-common - information about hardware configuration
lshw-gtk - information about hardware configuration

farm-404: apt-cache search hwinfo
hwinfo - Hardware identification system
libhd13 - Hardware identification system library
libhd13-dev - Hardware identification system library and headers
libhd13-doc - Hardware identification system library documentation

Ahh, perhaps those will be useful!

Thanks,
