I checked and that is not the case, for regular cards:
Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit
Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
For infiniband:
InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25418 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 2.5GT/s
- IB DDR / 10GigE] (rev a0)
So the final 20 characters or so is stuff like bus type and revision
whereas the beginning is the card manufacturer and type, but of course
there's no guarantee of that for all the devices. My reasoning was that
it would in any case be better to to trim part of the description string
over having the interface identifier (eth0, ib0 etc.) out of the screen.
Alternative is to drop this patch and wait for someone to start
complaining, which is fine by me.
