These are pages that have been created for Perry's PCI identification scripts.
(see http://www.wlug.org.nz/~perry/pci/) To find out about your hardware download http://www.wlug.org.nz/~perry/pci/pci.sh
and look at the URL it produces.

+
+Maybe look at replacing this page with the following:
+
+
+(humourous example of a PCI ID and how it works will go here, with reference to companies mistakenly using anothers PCI ID)
+
+A PCI ID is a 'Peripheral Component Interconnect' (i.e. a piece of hardware) 'IDentifier'.
+
+
+
+There is currently a list of _some_ PCI IDs located here: [http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids] (WARNING: File is ~500KB in size as of 7/2007).
+
+More info available here: [http://pciids.sourceforge.net/].
+
+How to locate what a device is using this database and the PCI ID you have:
+
+* Download the _latest_ PCI ID list from sources above.
+
+* Get the PCI ID of your piece of hardware.
+
+* Locate the PCI ID using your favourite text/word/whatever editor inside the pci-id database - read what is next to the entry for what your hardware _might_ be...
+
+
+NOTES: If your GNU/Linux box is showing ('lspci') your hardware as e.g. '0034 Unknown IDE Controller' etc:
+
+* Download the latest PCI ID list.
+
+* Change to root user
+
+* Locate current PCI ID file
+
+
+
+* Backup current PCI ID file
+
+* Profit!!!
