You can also automate this to only give you the difference, here's a rough example. dmesg > dmesg-before.log # insert the device dmesg > dmesg-after.log diff dmesg-before.log dmesg-after.log

So if you know what time (from the system's POV) you inserted or removed a device, you won't need to run a diff.
