There's also Smolt: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/ Which captures hardware profiles and (optionally) sends them to a central database. You might find this gives you the data in a nicer format.

There are no security or bugfix updates any longer and you will find (as here!) that a lot of current instructions for getting things done in Fedora will not work on that release as they rely on newer features and packages than existed at that time. You really should seriously consider updating to something that is still supported as you will find it much easier to get help and support for the release and will not be needlessly exposed to security problems.
