Hi,

KNetworkManager displays my notebook's ipw2200 interface as
"Device: Unknown (0x8086) Unknown (0x4220) (eth1)"

Since the ipw2200 is not exactly an exotic hardware, I am kind of
astonished that it is not displayed "by name".


Found the problem. It is a hal, resp. pciutils issue:


pciutils (1:3.0.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * libpci-dev is priority standard
  * Compile the udeb lspci with libpci.a
  * Don't uncompress pci.ids.gz
  * update-pciids works as expected. Closes: #411314, #452008
  * pci.ids: updated with daily snapshot dated 2008-04-27 01:05:01

hal, though, expects the pci.ids unzipped.
Reassigning to pciutils. It shouldn't just ship gzipped ids and break dependent packages.
Interestingly, I also have a dangling symlink now:
/var/lib/misc/pci.ids -> /usr/share/misc/pci.ids

Marc, as a workaround, you can run
gunzip /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz
and restart hal.

Cheers,
Michael
