The lsusb command does not show the driver?
What does command
dmesg | grep usbcore
say?
It’s probably because it’s a Pci-e card!
[rick@xfce-pc ~]$ dmesg | grep usbcore
[ 0.788395] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
[ 0.788404] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
[ 0.788427] usbcore: registered new device driver usb
[ 1.055878] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
[ 2.021421] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
[rick@xfce-pc ~]$
It runs off the PCI Express bus!
Oh …you meant joe? Sorry.

This is weird? I thought it was because i had both Ethernet and WiFi connected but WiFi wasn’t on. So i disconnected Ethernet and turned on WiFi
[rick@xfce-pc ~]$ lshw -class network
bash: lshw: command not found
[rick@xfce-pc ~]$
Is there a package for lshw command? I see two!
I installed it and still doesn’t show anything. 
Edir: Off to work i go!

I was even able to do an online installation with that one. 
Hi all!
You may have already noticed the latest version of the welcome app, 2.2.27-1.
It includes a small improvement with the Detect system issues button:
it should be able to remove the Broadcom wifi driver if Broadcom wifi hardware is not present.
I thank you all for the valuable input you gave, without it this would have been much harder to implement!

This is my output
$ lspci -k | grep -A9 " Network controller: " | grep -P "Network cont|Kernel driver"

Apologies @ricklinux, not an issue
I was just following up on manuel’s message
"Hi all, this is an interesting topic!
So I ask all of you EndeavourOS users to run the following command:
lspci -k | grep -A9 " Network controller: " | grep -P “Network cont|Kernel driver”
and show your results here!
This will help us avoid installing unnecessary drivers."

Currently this information is used in the welcome app, the “Detect system issues” button.
Later it could be used at install phase, but for now it is only in the welcome app.
