So to manage this, there are 2 simple options. 1. pipe[1] it to a pager[2] . Something like this should be helpful, "lspci | less -i". Now you can navigate the output with "space" (scroll down one page) or "b" (scroll one page up) or the arrow keys to scroll line by line. You can search forward by pressing "/" and entering the text or search backward by typing "?" and entering the text. 2. search through the output directly if you have some idea of what you are looking for. So something like this should help, "lspci | grep -i 'ion' ". This searches for the text "ion" (if I recall correctly, the unknown device in the output of lspci was called something "ION"). The "-i" switch to both grep and less makes the searches case insensitive. Hope his helps.
