hmmmm,

Look at lspci -v. It lists quite a few kernel drivers....


00:05.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge (prog-if 00 [Normal
decode])
<snip>
Kernel driver in use: pcieport-drive

and here:
00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc 4379 Serial ATA Controller (prog-if
8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO])
<snip>
Kernel driver in use: sata_sil

and so on...
00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller
(prog-if 10 [OHCI])
Kernel driver in use: ohci_hcd

00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 11)

Kernel driver in use: piix4_smbus


I guess that was done just for lazy(slow) admins.....?


common, it's an obviously an oversight, cause lots of other
things get listed.........you think? Maybe it'd be too
difficult to do?

(nah)
