HAL contains all of the information that you're looking for.  That's the
hardware abstraction layer.  A tool that I like to view HAL is
gnome-device-manager.  If you're more of a commandline type of guy you
can just do lshal and you'll get more data than you wanted :)  lshal
does have filters if you read the man page.
