Look into the following commands:

• lsusb - lists all USB devices
• lsmod - Lists installed and running modules (drivers)
• dmidecode - Revels things like BIOS version. Dumping a computer’s DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. SMBIOS stands for System Management BIOS, while DMI stands for Desktop Management Interface.
• modinfo returns information and modprobe parameters for modules.
