Interpreting the output of 'lspci' command.


Hi.

I have a IBM thinkpad T40 laptop. It has one usb root-hub with 2 ports. I ran 'lspci' command on my machine and got the following output.

:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller (rev 03)

According to this information, I should have 4 USB root hubs since I have 4 USB host controllers. But I only have only 1 USB root hub. What are 3 others controllers are used for?

Thanks in advance

Since you use a laptop, I guess "lspci" will print different results than on a desktop. Try checking the "lspci" manual.

I posted the same question to the IBM thinkpad and got an answer.


The motherboard used in IBM T40 has 4 USB host-controllers but only one of them is made visible. That's why I got 4 USB host controllers in the output of 'lspci' command.
