Linux: Determine the Manufacturer of a PCI Device

To determine the manufacturer of a PCI device on a Linux system, you can use the lspci command. This command lists the PCI devices on the system, including the vendor and device IDs, as well as the device names and descriptions.

To use lspci, you can run the following command:

lspci

This will output a list of PCI devices on the system, with each line showing the device name, vendor and device IDs, and a description of the device. You can then use the vendor and device IDs to look up the manufacturer of the device.

To find the manufacturer of a specific PCI device, you can use the grep command to filter the output of lspci for the device you are interested in. For example:

lspci | grep 'Ethernet controller'

This command will output a list of Ethernet controllers on the system, with each line showing the device name, vendor and device IDs, and a description of the device.

You can also use the -v flag to get a verbose output from lspci, which includes detailed information about each device, including the class and subclass of the device, the subsystem vendor and device IDs, and the IRQs used by the device.

lspci -v
