The screenshot below indicates an unknown device: as I understand it this also indicates the unknown device is missing its driver. Hardware is a HP Elitebook 8440P

Is there a command to identify the unknown device?

$ lshw | pastebinit

What device are you asking about? – Pilot6 Jun 11 '16 at 07:31
There are no missing drivers there. – Mark Kirby Jun 11 '16 at 11:07
@MarkKirby But one of the devices is not using the driver? – Tim Jun 11 '16 at 16:41
@Tim This had me confused. You think they mean what the unknown device is for the micro code driver? – Mark Kirby Jun 11 '16 at 17:21

@MarkKirby I think what they want to know is "which device is not using the driver". (I.e. detect the device which is "not working". – Tim Jun 11 '16 at 17:24

@gatorback Can you explain why you want this command - why does the GUI not work? – Tim Jun 11 '16 at 17:25

A little off topic, but OK: I am interested in the command because I would like to learn the command set to identify hardware. I prefer performing command line diagnostics over GUIs. – gatorback Jun 14 '16 at 19:21
