Synopsis
hwdata bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated hwdata package is available that updates the PCI description
tables and includes updated mappings for various drivers.
Description
The hwdata package contains hardware identification and configuration data.
This new package updates the pci.ids and usb.ids databases that match
numeric IDs to descriptive names, used by lspci and lsusb. It also includes
updated PCI mappings for the tg3 driver for Broadcom ethernet cards, the
lpfc driver for Emulex Fiber Channel cards, and support for the LSI
Megaraid SAS controller.
Users of hwdata should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues.
