In Mandrake Linux, it's "lspcidrake".
I don't understand why Mandrake has to have their own gratuitious utility. "lspci" is part of the pci-tools utility, and not a Red Hat-ism.
This is also one thing I am confused. When I issue the command of "lspcidrake", the first NIC's module was of 3Com and followed by the Intel module. While with my "lsmod" command, the Intel module comes first and followed by 3Com.
"lspci" (and I assume, "lspcidrake") enumerate the PCI devices available on the system using the PCI system enumerator. This is part of the well-documented PCI interfaces. Basically "lspci" queries the PCI bus and waits for each device in turn to return its PCI ID.
"lsmod" simply lists the modules loaded in the kernel. This is the same as doing "cat /proc/modules" (well not really, but it does the same thing).
