PCI ID Repository
The PCI IDs on your system is stored in the following file:
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
# Syntax: # vendor vendor_name # device device_name <-- single tab # subvendor subdevice subsystem_name <-- two tabs
- Update the pci.ids file
The latest PCI ids are maintained by the PCI Ids site http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/
The following update-pciids command will download the compressed version of the file and install it accordingly. It will only work when you have either curl, or wget, or lynx on your system. The command is a part of pciutils package. In Ubuntu pci.ids file is downloaded daily.
