Hi,

In some cases, instead of showing "Device xxxx", lspci
shows a misleading wrong string. For me this only happens
for the Subsystem.

Example:
# lspci -nn -v -s 8: | head -2
08:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1022:7901] (rev 61) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1043:876b]

Looking at the subsystem: 1043:876b
1043 is "ASUSTeK Computer Inc.", correct.
But 1043:876b isn't in the database at all.
So it should show "ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 876b".


Cheers

Hi!

Can you still reproduce this with current version of Linux and
pciutils?

Thanks,
