| |
I've written a small (python) script that takes that info from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.pcimap, looks up the PCIIDs in the pciid database (placed in /usr/share/misc/pci.ids in ubuntu, change the path if your system is different) and generates a list of human-readable hardware that each module supports (obviously the in-kernel stuff isn't included in the list). I've never seen a util that does this, and I though people may be interested in this crappy script
This only gives a list of supported "pci devices". It's easy to extend it to print also usb devices, and it'd be also possible for ieee1394 or isapnp cards if there were a "id" database available.
It be possible to dump the data in a database and do queries like "what sound cards does linux support?" But right now pretty much every driver except a few ones doesn't seem to set the pci_device_id.class field.
The script is at: http://www.terra.es/personal/diegocg/list-kernel-hardware.py
Obligatory screenshot:
Driver: snd-ymfpci Device: YMF-724 (deviceid 0004); made by Yamaha Corporation (vendorid 1073) Device: YMF-724F [DS-1 Audio Controller] (deviceid 000d); made by Yamaha Corporation (vendorid 1073) Device: DS1L Audio (deviceid 000a); made by Yamaha Corporation (vendorid 1073) Device: YMF-740C [DS-1L Audio Controller] (deviceid 000c); made by Yamaha Corporation (vendorid 1073) Device: YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio Controller] (deviceid 0010); made by Yamaha Corporation (vendorid 1073) Device: YMF-754 [DS-1E Audio Controller] (deviceid 0012); made by Yamaha Corporation (vendorid 1073)
A full list for a default ubuntu kernel can be found at: http://www.terra.es/personal/diegocg/list.txt (obviously, to get a list of all the pci hardware supported by the kernel you'd need to compile a "allmodconfig" kernel) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
