BTW, i am curious about this /sys, and in particular its interaction with tools like lspci. lspci used to look at /proc/bus/pci, and parse its output, saddly, it doesn't do for me, since i have two 00 directories there :/. Anyway, is lspci broken, because it doesn't look at /sys on a 2.6 kernel, or is lspci obsolet and replaced by some newer tool ?
