Hey, buddy...

Just a FYI . . .

There was a recent announcement of an updated pcidevs.txt file
for the PCI.EXE program.  The new file is:
        pcidevs_20090811.zip
found on Hobbes.

Just for kicks, I repeated the PCI run for my T60 and then did a
compare of the output report files.

The comparison report showed:

  
08/19/109 01:17:21             INSERT     DELETE     MATCH
----------------------------------------------------------
PCI_FOR_T60-SPM-NEWWIFI.T
PCI_FOR_T60-NEW-20090811.     000061     000059     000598
----------------------------------------------------------
    

Many of the changes were similar to:

  
I -  Subsystem ID 201717AAh ThinkPad T60/R60 series             000019 INSERTED
D -  Subsystem ID 201717AAh Unknown                             000019 DELETED
I -  Subsystem Vendor 17AAh Lenovo                              000020 INSERTED
D -  Subsystem Vendor 17AAh Legend Ltd                          000020 DELETED
    

But, a lot of the others seemed to be providing more/better
descriptions.

I honestly have no clue what most of the info in the report actually
means.  But, for those of you that do understand this stuff, the new
device list file may provide better info for you.

I hope the exercise is worthwhile for you...
  
Indeed. I should have mentioned this update at Warpstock, as it should prove more useful to people with newer hardware. It does indeed provide better descriptions of many of the devices we've seen (and are seeing for the first time).

Thanks for the post.
