Actually, the command does work with the | key. When you get the dmesg [-c][-n level][-s bufsize]
message, this means that you entered an invalid option for dmesg (grep and eth0 in this case). Because you get no output when using |, this means that there are no lines outputted by dmesg that contain eth0.
