pcimodules(8) Linux PCI Utilities pcimodules(8) NAME
pcimodules - List kernel driver modules available for all currently plugged in PCI devices SYNOPSIS
pcimodules [--classclass_id] [--classmaskmask] [--help] DESCRIPTION
pcimodules lists all driver modules for all currently plugged in PCI devices. pcimodules should be run at boot time, and whenever a PCI device is "hot plugged" into the system. This can be done by the following Bourne shell syntax: for module in $(pcimodules) ; do modprobe -s -k "$module" done When a PCI device is removed from the system, the Linux kernel will decrement a usage count on PCI driver module. If this count drops to zero (i.e., there are no PCI drivers), then the modprobe -r process that is normally configured to run from cron every few minutes will eventually remove the unneeded module. The --class and --classmask arguments can be used to limit the search to certain classes of PCI devices. This is useful, for example, to generate a list of ethernet card drivers to be loaded when the kernel has indicated that it is trying to resolve an unknown network inter- face. Modules are listed in the order in which the PCI devices are physically arranged so that the computer owner can arrange things like having scsi device 0 be on a controller that is not alphabetically the first scsi controller. OPTIONS
--class class --classmask mask --class and --classmask limit the search to PCI cards in particular classes. These arguments are always used together. The arguments to --class and --classmask can be given as hexadecimal numbers by prefixing a leading "0x". Note that the classes used by pcimodules are in "Linux" format, meaning the class value that you see with lspci would be shifted left eight bits, with the new low eight bits programming interface ID. An examples of how to use class and classmask is provided below. --help, -h Print a help message and exit. EXAMPLES
pcimodules lists all modules corresponding to currently plugged in PCI devices. pcimodules --class 0x20000 --classmask 0xffff00 lists all modules corresponding to currently plugged in ethernet PCI devices. FILES
/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/modules.pcimap This file is automatically generated by depmod, and used by pcimodules to determine which modules correspond to which PCI ID's. /proc/bus/pci An interface to PCI bus configuration space provided by the post-2.1.82 Linux kernels. Contains per-bus subdirectories with per-card config space files and a devices file containing a list of all PCI devices. SEE ALSO

lspci(8) Linux PCI Utilities lspci(8) NAME
lspci - list all PCI devices SYNOPSIS
lspci [options] DESCRIPTION
lspci is a utility for displaying information about all PCI buses in the system and all devices connected to them. To make use of all the features of this program, you need to have Linux kernel 2.1.82 or newer which supports the /proc/bus/pci interface. With older kernels, the PCI utilities have to use direct hardware access which is available only to root and it suffers from numerous race conditions and other problems. If you are going to report bugs in PCI device drivers or in lspci itself, please include output of "lspci -vvx". OPTIONS
-v Tells lspci to be verbose and display detailed information about all devices. -vv Tells lspci to be very verbose and display even more information (actually everything the PCI device is able to tell). The exact meaning of these data is not explained in this manual page, if you want to know more, consult /usr/include/linux/pci.h or the PCI specs. -n Show PCI vendor and device codes as numbers instead of looking them up in the PCI ID database. -x Show hexadecimal dump of first 64 bytes of the PCI configuration space (the standard header). Useful for debugging of drivers and lspci itself. -xxx Show hexadecimal dump of whole PCI configuration space. Available only for root as several PCI devices crash when you try to read undefined portions of the config space (this behaviour probably doesn't violate the PCI standard, but it's at least very stupid). -b Bus-centric view. Show all IRQ numbers and addresses as seen by the cards on the PCI bus instead of as seen by the kernel. -t Show a tree-like diagram containing all buses, bridges, devices and connections between them. -s [[<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]] Show only devices in specified bus, slot and function. Each component of the device address can be omitted or set as "*" meaning "any value". All numbers are hexadecimal. E.g., "0:" means all devices on bus 0, "0" means all functions of device 0 on any bus, "0.3" selects third function of device 0 on all buses and ".4" shows only fourth function of each device. -d [<vendor>]:[<device>] Show only devices with specified vendor and device ID. Both ID's are given in hexadecimal and may be omitted or given as "*" meaning "any value". -i <file> Use <file> as PCI ID database instead of /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids. -p <dir> Use <dir> as directory containing PCI bus information instead of /proc/bus/pci. -m Dump PCI device data in machine readable form (both normal and verbose format supported) for easy parsing by scripts. -M Invoke bus mapping mode which scans the bus extensively to find all devices including those behind misconfigured bridges etc. Please note that this is intended only for debugging and as it can crash the machine (only in case of buggy devices, but unfortunately these happen to exist), it's available only to root. Also using -M on PCI access methods which don't directly touch the hardware has no sense since the results are (modulo bugs in lspci) identical to normal listing modes. --version Shows lspci version. This option should be used standalone. PCILIB OPTIONS
The PCI utilities use PCILIB (a portable library providing platform-independent functions for PCI configuration space access) to talk to the PCI cards. The following options control parameters of the library, especially what access method it uses. By default, PCILIB uses the first available access method and displays no debugging messages. Each switch is accompanied by a list of hardware/software configurations it's supported in. -P <dir> Use Linux 2.1 style configuration access to directory <dir> instead of /proc/bus/pci. (Linux 2.1 or newer only) -H1 Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1. (i386 and compatible only) -H2 Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 2. Warning: This method is able to address only first 16 devices on any bus and it seems to be very unrealiable in many cases. (i386 and compatible only) -S Use PCI access syscalls. (Linux on Alpha and UltraSparc only) -F <file> Extract all information from given file containing output of lspci -x. This is very useful for analysis of user-supplied bug reports, because you can display the hardware configuration in any way you want without disturbing the user with requests for more dumps. (All systems) -G Increase debug level of the library. (All systems) FILES
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids A list of all known PCI ID's (vendors, devices, classes and subclasses). /proc/bus/pci An interface to PCI bus configuration space provided by the post-2.1.82 Linux kernels.
