I tried to add:
7961 MT7921AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wireless Adapter
7961 shows up but the description/name is blank on:
https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/0e8d
0e8d:7961 MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device
I also tried to add 0608 the 7921k USB Bluetooth portion of a pci card.
I don't understand, how is a USB device part of a PCI device?
The PCI device is a wireless card that has a chipset that also supports
Bluetooth and the PCI device has a USB cable that connects to the
motherboard to support the Bluetooth part.
The wireless radio is connected via PCI and the Bluetooth radio is
connected via USB.
What does 'lsusb' show for these devices?
0e8d:0608 MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device
Someone else added 2870 but it doesn't show a name either.
Is there a name in the device itself? That's the best place for this
information, and is why USB added strings to the configuration
descriptors, so that no external tool should ever really be needed.
Is the name in the device put there by the manufacturer of the device
(eg. Comfast/Netgear) or is the name stored in the chipset used (eg.
MediaTek)?
I have an Alfa Networks AWUS036ACM that shows in lsusb as:
0e8d:7612 MediaTek Inc. MT7612U 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter
I was suspicious they (MediaTek) don't embed a detailed name in the
device (just "Wireless_Device") so
I removed:
usb:v0E8Dp7612*
ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=MT7612U 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter
from:
/lib/udev/hwdb.d/20-usb-vendor-model.hwdb
and I also tried to override the name in /etc/udev/hwdb.d/
Neither worked.
I copied that directive to make one for 0E8D:7961 but that didn't work
either. :-(
usb:v0E8Dp7961*
ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=MT7612U 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wireless Adapter
The link to the maintainer is no longer valid. :-(
What link?
It says "This site maintained by Stephen J. Gowdy." and has a link to http://cern.ch/gowdy which is 404 not found.
There might be an email address on the file itself if you really want to
contact them.
Can you please just let him know about the broken link?
