As far as I know these device tree entries do in fact exist. Certainly prtconf -vp will display for any devices that do not have drivers (tested just now on my system, that has no driver for the multiport serial card in it. I've been working on a driver for it in my spare time.) So you can get at vendor and device (and subsystem) ids. Do you need more than just normal PCI identification registers? (I.e. do you actively probe the device in some fashion?) I ran this test on amd64, btw. -- Garrett D'Amore, Principal Software Engineer Tadpole Computer / Computing Technologies Division, General Dynamics C4 Systems http://www.tadpolecomputer.com/ Phone: 951 325-2134 Fax: 951 325-2191
