On linux, I use the lspci command to find out what pci devices and
what firmware is needed for those devices. Is there a command I can
use for OS X? In particular, I am trying to find out what chipset my
airport extreme card is using so I can download appropriate drivers
for it in Linux. About this Mac doesn't give me this information.

Well, I don't know about the lspci issue but I believe all modern-ish
WiFi hardware in Apple computers is Broadcom, which is legendary for
lack of open-source OS support :(

You're spending way *too* much money managing your Mac boxes.
