how can i get the hardware vendor information on linux
how can i get the hardware vendor information on linux
ex: I need to get HP if i have installed linux on hp system and it must be Dell if i have installed linux on Dell system. Can anyone help me out in this regard. |
I suspect you can't, as Dell, HP and others are really assembling parts from other manufacturers, and there is probably no way to find in the hardware the final vendor name.
|
Is not "lspci" the solution in this case? 'cause it usually shows all yuor chips
|
No, and that was my point.
lspci give you Intel, ATI, Realtek and the likes, while pvnraju is expecting HP or Dell. |
Usually the BIOS will have the vendor name in it somewhere, but it depends on the BIOS as to where it is located.
Maybe this will help. http://freshmeat.net/projects/bioswriter/ |
On fedora there is a command: scanpci
|
Glad to know, but but not what the OP is asking for ...

I found a list on the net which shows what vendor id goes with what company. For example, 0x8086 is Intel. I have used that info to find out what nic or video card is installed so a person can look for drivers. pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x7124 Intel Corp. 82810E DC-133 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x01 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x7125 Intel Corp. 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1e function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2418 Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1f function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2410 Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC) pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1f function 0x01: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2411 Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1f function 0x02: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2412 Intel Corp. 82801AA USB pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1f function 0x03: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2413 Intel Corp. 82801AA SMBus pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x07 function 0x00: vendor 0x1274 device 0x1371 Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x08 function 0x00: vendor 0x10ec device 0x8139 Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

You miss the point, it is not the PCI parts vendors the OP asks for.
What he wants is the name of the manufacturer that bundle the whole and sell it under its own brand, different from the PCI cards your command shows. |
oh sorry :(
