hwbrowser gets its hardware information from hwdata, changing component Nils: reproducable in rawhide. lscpi shows the manufacturer (it gets the information from hwdata's pci.ids), hwbrowser doesn't. This is because hwbrowser still tries to parse the vendor info from the description string returned from older kudzu versions (p.e. RHEL-4). kudzu in turn got it from the file pcitables which has been deprecated and not supported by hwdata and kudzu anymore. Check out DeviceGeneric.py and look for if string.find (device.kudzu_device.desc, "|") != -1: This is old pcitables syntax. You now need to get vendorId from kudzu and match that with the corresponding entry in pci.ids This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. I've built hwbrowser-0.28-1.el5 for RHEL5 which looks up vendorId (if set) in pci.ids or usb.ids respectively. It works here with only the usual suspects unknown (e.g. keyboard). Can we request this be posted to a people page so we can test and report results ? Find the file at: http://people.redhat.com/nphilipp/.private/hwbrowser-0.28-1.el5.noarch.rpm Mind that the package isn't signed, its checksums are: MD5SUM: da5dc3139a9ee41d59dba91d2486f512 SHA1SUM: 71d649bc44100a9f94037a17947bb0c95186909c I regressed with the above hwbrowser-0.28-1.el5.noarch.rpm and found that except keyboard, mouse and floppy remaining device's manufacturers info is showing correctly. So that's good news that the network hardware is showing up properly in test hwbrowser package provided in comment #7. Question now is, what would it take get the keyboard, mouse and floppies to show up properly ? Please note that the manufacturer of PS/2 devices and ordinary (non USB) keyboards cannot be detected and will always be displayed as 'Unknown'. If there are unknown manufacturer entries besides those mentioned above: Missing USB entries need to be submitted at http://www.linux-usb.org/ Missing PCI.ids should be submitted at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ Tested with hwbrowser-0.30-1.el5 The only fields showing manufacturer=Unknown are - SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad - AT Translated Set 2 keyboard - IBM0057 - IBM0071 - NSC1100 - PC Speaker - PNP0200 - PNP0303 - PNP0400 - PNP0501 - PNP0700 - PNP0800 - PNP0a08 - PNP0c01 - PNP0c02 - PNP0c04 - TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint The PS/2 devices appear to be known according to comment#10. I'm moving this issue to VERIFIED. hwbrowser-0.30-1.el5 included in 20061218.1 trees. |
