dmesg output

Description of problem:
My notebook has an AR8151 gigabit ethernet chip supported by atl1c. Upon running lspci -vv (or more verbose), the following message appears in dmesg:


[  819.730511] atl1c 0000:04:00.0: vpd r/w failed.  This is likely a firmware bug on this device.  Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.


lspci itself prints this to stderr:


pcilib: sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: Connection timed out


Full dmesg and lspci -vvvv output attached. No detrimental effect on network card performance observed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.3.4-4.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always upon running lspci -vv.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2012-05-08 16:42:32 UTC 
as the message says, this is likely a firmware bug. nothing we can fix.

alternatively, "don't do that".
