Yes, for a definition of "hard-wired" which if I'm not mistaken (which I
might be, but believe I remember reading that once) includes the
possibility for busses to change numbering depending on bridge detection
order.
But yes, the "dd" in the DDDD:bb:dd.f lspci -D output indeed signifies
the slot, not the card -- exchange two PCI cards in your system and see
them change numbering around as well.
-Or is it hardwired on the PCI card? (So that this card if plugged on
any slot in any machine will have the same PCI device number)?
No.
