Hello,

There are a couple of potential issues with the pci.updates file in the 
igb-5.0.6.tar.gz package. The errors were reported by the command lspci after 
installing the v5.0.6 driver packages.

The SLES 11sp3 RPM intel-igb-5.0.6-4.1.x86_64.rpm contains the file 
pci.ids.intel-igb-5.0.6. This file seems identical in content to the 
pci.updates file which is located in the top level directory of the 
igb-5.0.6.tar.gz package.

When the above RPM is installed, the pci.ids.intel-igb-5.0.6 file is merged 
with the main pci.ids file. After the merge the command lspci reports errors.

The first error is a parsing error like this:
lspci: Parse error at /usr/share/pci.ids, line 17992

The parsing error occurs because an extra space is needed after the subdevice 
ID of 05f1. 
-               1028 05f1 Ethernet Connection I354 1.0 GbE Backplane
+               1028 05f1  Ethernet Connection I354 1.0 GbE Backplane


The second error is a duplicate entry error like this:
lspci: Duplicate entry at /usr/share/pci.ids, line 19391

This entry creates a duplicate entry because the entry has a capital letter in 
the subdevice ID.
-               103c 17D1  HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366FLR Adapter
+               103c 17d1  HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366FLR Adapter


I tried a search on the email list and did find a matching result for this 
issue. According to the README file in the driver tar package, this email 
address is the address to report issues.  

Thank you.
Bill
