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.
