How to find the PCI chipset type inside a driver

Hi, I need the bt848/bt878 driver to find out the motherboard's PCI chipset. IE, Is this Bt878 card sitting on a VIA, SIS, OPTi or INTEL motherboard. Can this be done? The Bt878 can be programmed to run in Intel (Full PCI2.1 ompatible) Mode Intel 440FX mode SIS/VIA/OPTi mode. Each mode

Dave Just a thought - not really an answer to your question... but... I struck me that since bt848 isn't in the default kernel (you have to build your own kernel for it) - couldn't you just make this a flag in the config file? Then, a couple of #ifdef's in the bt848 driver

David, Just out of curiosity - every now-and-then, when watching TV with my bt848 - the machine will lock up hard.. Lockups are a possibility with older motherboards where the PCI bus gets overloaded, or on some older SIS, VIA and OPTi motherboards where they did not implement the PCI spec
