Package: pciutils Version: 1:3.0.0-6 Severity: wishlist When dealing with computers that don't have lspci (e.g. Windows), it's usually possible to determine the vendor and device ID of an unknown device. It would be nice if lspci could be used to query the PCI database with these IDs to determine the device's name.
Example: If I have a computer that has an unknown device 1217:7130, lspci should tell me what this device is (the --query parameter is hypothetical): lspci --query 1217:7130 O2 Micro, Inc. Integrated MS/xD Controller lspci has a -d switch that "show[s] only devices with specified vendor and device ID", but that only limits the selection of local devices to the specified IDs. It does not currently seem to be possible to query the database for arbitrary IDs when the devices are not installed in the local computer. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pciutils depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpci3 1:3.0.0-6 Linux PCI Utilities (shared librar pciutils recommends no packages.
