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>
<para>In this screenshot below, you can see the action of the -v option for
lspcidrake and the -i option for grep.</para>
