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!!!
