## BootDmesg.txt -> dmesg, gives very similar info as uname -a, and gives exactly same as cat
## CurrentDmesg.txt -> dmesg
## Lspci.txt -> lspci ---vvnn

When reporting a problem with hardware detection, include in file attach the following information:

 * The make and model of the device (as much as you know)
 * The output from the `uname -a > uname-a.log` command
 * The output from the `lspci -vvn > lspci-vvn.log` command
 * The output from the `lspci -vv > lscpi-vv.log` command
 * The output from the `dmesg > dmesg.log` command
 * The output of `cat /proc/version > proc_version.log` command
