virt-manager/libvirt asks libpciaccess for this info, which from looking at the source seems to query /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids which is the same method that lspci uses in my simple strace attempt. So I'm not sure why you're seeing different output... maybe there's a bug somewhere, or maybe lspci has an alternate name of looking up these strings - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
