Thanks Erik.
could you please help me to get the description of a PCI card installed in
the linux system programmatically.
e.g. i have a NIC card which has the description as
"Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
(Copper) (rev 01)" as per the output of the "lspci" command.
I assume you already know the PCI address (bus / device / function
number) of your PCI device. Read the Vendor ID / Device ID of the PCI
device from /sys/bus/pci/devices/<device PCI address>/*
Once you have the vendor and device ID. You need to look them up in a
file listing the device descriptions (On my system this is pci.ids
file). You can find out the location of this file by locating a line
like following in "strace lspci" output:
open("/usr/share/pci.ids", O_RDONLY) = 4
Thanks,
Rajat
