So I read a bit the lspci code, and it looks that there are plenty of pointers inside the config space. Fun :) So basically, since: #define PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_L1PM 0x1e This means that I need to find an 0x1e in the output of wzyboy's lspci. I found only one: at offset 0x15d. Should that mean that my System team was right when they asked for offset 0x160 which is 3 bytes afterwards (and matches more the less the code of lspci)? If so, 160: 0f 00 a0 40 f0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 seems to say that it is enabled? OTOH, 0x15d is 0x1e and not 0x001e as required by PCI-SIG ECN?
