Public bug reported:
Currently, this is the state of the PCI ID database file in Ubuntu:
$ rmadison pci.ids
pci.ids | 0.0~2020.03.20-1 | focal | source, all
pci.ids | 0.0~2021.08.22-1 | impish | source, all
pci.ids | 0.0~2022.01.22-1 | jammy | source, all
Because of this, focal installations cannot identify PCI devices that
were added to the IDs file after March 20, 2020.
As this is just a text file, pci.ids should always be updated with the
latest info regardless of release.
This has an effect on MAAS in which any hardware commissioned in MAAS
uses a 2 year old version of hte PCIID database and thus cannot identify
newer hardware such as the nVidia A100 GPU.
The 2020 version of the file does not contain id's for this while the
2022 version in Jammy does:
12393 20f1 GA100 [A100 PCIe 40GB]
Comparing the current source to the version in focal, there are over 3500
additional or modified IDs in the id file:
$ diff /usr/share/misc/pci.ids pci.ids |wc -l
3529
