 * Driver - For a PCI device: {{{
lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network | grep Kernel
 Kernel driver in use: rtl8192ce
}}} It's the ''''rtl8192ce''''.
'''Works "out of the box"''' - It's either a Yes, or No. Yes, if it works perfectly with no manual modifications, or No, it doesn't at all, or requires manual configuration. If No, please add a comment to what you had to do to get it to work, if it was possible.

Summary

  • Model - This is the full device model as noted on the box.

  • Chipset - Chipset vendor name, chipset name, vendor code, and device code. For example, if one was looking for a PCI device: 

    lspci -vvnn | grep Network
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)

    It's the 'Realtek', 'RTL8188CE', and '[10ec:8176] (rev 01)'.

  • Driver - For a PCI device: 

    lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network | grep Kernel
        Kernel driver in use: rtl8192ce

    It's the 'rtl8192ce'.

Works "out of the box" - It's either a Yes, or No. Yes, if it works perfectly with no manual modifications, or No, it doesn't at all, or requires manual configuration. If No, please add a comment to what you had to do to get it to work, if it was possible.
