+ <para>lspcidrake often generates very long lists, so, to find an
+ information, it is often used in a pipeline with the grep command, like in
+ these examples:</para>
+
+ <para>Information about the graphic card;</para>
+
+ <para><command>lspcidrake | grep VGA</command></para>
+
+ <para>Information about the network</para>

+ <para><command>lspcidrake | grep -i network</command></para>
+
+ <para>-i to ignore case distinctions.</para>
