I have looked at it, thank you, unfortunately it does not work as i had in mind as I still have to identify the hardware itself, so I need to find out the pci device id for each chipset (and/or vice versa).

In hardware terms, I am working with device ids and not with chipsets. Is there also a document covering the ids itself?

Hi folks,

I am trying to build a freebsd hardware compatibility database merging it with vendor hardware databases, so that searching for supported devices or products will be easier than checking the man pages or the web.

Anyway, I checked the hardware release notes as a first start and stopped at the statement.

Note: The device lists in this document are being generated automatically from FreeBSD manual pages. This means that some devices, which are supported by multiple drivers, may appear multiple times.

So, could anybody tell me how you generate this list. I would use this script and generate a list, that more fits the structure of the database.

The hardware notes are mostly compiled from the HARDWARE sections of the section 4 manpages. The interesting files are the following:

src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-**1/hardware/article.sgml src/release/doc/share/misc/man**2hwnotes.pl <http://man2hwnotes.pl> src/release/doc/share/misc/**dev.archlist.txt

doc/share/sgml/man-refs.ent

Note that there are still some "manual" entries in article.sgml.

Cheers,

Chris
