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
+* Change to root user 'su root'
-* Locate current PCI ID file
+* Locate current PCI ID file 'slocate pci.ids'
+* Backup current PCI ID file 'cp /path/to/current/file/pci.ids original.pci.ids'
+* Make sure our backup worked 'ls -lh' (check existence of copied file, and compare size to original - should be the same)
+
+* Delete current pci.ids file (MAKE SURE IT WAS BACKED UP FIRST!) 'rm /path/to/current/file/pci.ids'
+
+* Copy latest pci.ids to proper directory 'cp pci.ids /path/to/current/file/'
-* Backup current PCI ID file
* Profit!!!
