What I do is
# get plain-language pci listing
lspci
# get numeric only pci listing
lspci -n
Match the plain listing with the numeric listing to get the raw PCI ID
of the device in question, e.g.,
# plain language
01:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
# numeric
01:0c.0 0200: 8086:100e (rev 02)
Then head to the Linux PCI ID repo and search for the specific ID ($3
to awk :-), in this case, "8086:100e":
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/
In this case, 8086 is an Intel vendor ID and 100e specifies a '82540EM
Gigabit Ethernet Controller' device.
