New devices and updating their names with lspci

New devices and updating their names with lspci


We just received a new Exablaze X25 card to review and found lspci was reporting the device as "Exablaze Device 0009"

I just found out that lspci doesn't interrogate the card for the name, but uses a lookup table that can be updated with the update-pciids command, which simply downloads from http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids (on my Ubuntu 16 box), but https://github.com/pciutils/pciids says it takes it from http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/pci.ids.

And here is my X25 card as device 0009:

1ce4  Exablaze
 0001  ExaNIC X4
 0002  ExaNIC X2
 0003  ExaNIC X10
 0004  ExaNIC X10-GM
 0005  ExaNIC X40
 0006  ExaNIC X10-HPT
 0007  ExaNIC X40
 0008  ExaNIC V5P
 0009  ExaNIC X25
