Exactly where does the info displayed by "lspci" come from?
That is, is the ASCII displayed read from the board or is it an
interpretation of binary data read from the board?
The latter. There's a lot you can figure out just from PCI cfg space.
From the PROM, you can also find "vpd" (vital product data) that will
give you more information. Google for these.
