How to know what is the model of my wireless card? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

To find the model of your wireless card:

lspci -nn | grep 0280

The pipe symbol | is on the right side of my keyboard on the same key with backslash. We added -nn because we want numerical details, particularly the pci.id, that may help diagnose a problem. 0280 is the class used by lspci for wireless devices: for example:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4227] (rev 02)

Are you looking for just Atheros with all other details removed?
