Re: State of pci.ids



Hello and thanks for the prompt response!

> Martin, what is the pros of having this striped data available?

In many cases, the subsystem ID is needed to reliably identify a PCI card
as the manufacturers are used to make multiple cards with the same chip,
but wired differently.

Dropping this information in the udeb is if course a good way of saving
space, but the full package should contain everything.

				Have a nice fortnight
