That is a very useful list, thanks! Looking at the source of the b43 driver, it seems that the supported devices are not identified by the PCI vendor and device ID; the driver tests the SSB properties vendor, coreid and revision instead (and e.g. SSB_VENDOR_BROADCOM is different from PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM). Is there an automatic way to incorporate such devices into the wiki PCI database, or would one have to manually track down all corresponding vendor:device PCI IDs? By the way: Right after I sent my earlier message I realized that I had not run update-pciids for a while. With an up-to-date PCI ID list, the description of [14e4:4315] has changed from "BCM4310 USB Controller" to "BCM4312 802.11b/g". -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
