I googled around but most instructions refer to older versions, in which there is a "Device Manager" program in the Control Center.
The closest I could find in Katya is "System Information", which lists network interfaces and stats about them, but not manufacturer and model, which are all I need now.
Any clues?

lspci -vq | grep -i wireless -B 1 -A 5
to look only for wireless cards. -

-vq
is meant to be human readable. Try one of the-m
flags and select the parts you want. Like this:lspci -vmm |sed -n '/wireless/I,/^$/p'
