It's just that this unclaimed/no driver thing confused me. Ok, I didn't understand it works. I wouldn't worry to much, then. It's hard to tell where the problem comes from exactly (at least for me, I don't follow the pciutils project close enough). If you have time to spare, you can start looking at your pci.ids file (use locate) to check if the vendor, device, subsystem and class'ID are known. If not, fallback to the last PCI ID Repository at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ . If it doesn't help you, you could ask to the linux-pci mailing list here: http://vger.kernel.org/ . -- Nicolas Sebrecht
