I have two issues with my machine - sound and video. My sound card
is not recognized at all (I think it's on the mobo, but I'm not sure
how to identify it), and I have an ATI dual video card with two
screens, but both show the same output, so I'm guessing that my
CentOS does not know what it is, either (they show up as
unidentified in the config file).
What I do is
# get plain-language pci listing
lspci
# get numeric only pci listing
lspci -n
Match the plain listing with the numeric listing to get the raw PCI ID
of the device in question, e.g.,
# plain language
01:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
# numeric
01:0c.0 0200: 8086:100e (rev 02)
Then head to the Linux PCI ID repo and search for the specific ID ($3
to awk :-), in this case, "8086:100e":
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/
In this case, 8086 is an Intel vendor ID and 100e specifies a '82540EM
Gigabit Ethernet Controller' device.
