This package contains the PCI Utilities, version 2.2.8.Copyright (c) 1997--2006 Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz>All files in this package can be freely distributed and used accordingto the terms of the GNU General Public License, either version 2 or(at your opinion) any newer version. See http://www.gnu.org/ for details.1. What's that?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The PCI Utilities package contains a library for portable access to PCI busconfiguration registers and several utilities based on this library.In runs on the following systems:	Linux		(via /sys/bus/pci, /proc/bus/pci or i386 ports)	FreeBSD		(via /dev/pci)	NetBSD		(via libpci)	OpenBSD		(via /dev/pci)	GNU/kFreeBSD	(via /dev/pci)	Solaris/i386	(direct port access)	Aix		(via /dev/pci and odmget)	GNU Hurd	(direct port access)	Windows		(direct port access)It should be very easy to add support for other systems as well (volunteerswanted; if you want to try that, I'll be very glad to see the patches andinclude them in the next version).The utilities include:  (See manual pages for more details)  - lspci: displays detailed information about all PCI buses and devices.  - setpci: allows to read from and write to PCI device configuration    registers. For example, you can adjust the latency timers with it.    CAUTION: There is a couple of dangerous points and caveats, please read    the manual page first!  - update-pciids: download the current version of the pci.ids file.2. Compiling and (un)installing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Just run "make" to compile the package and then "make install" to install it.If you want to change the default installation location, please overridethe PREFIX variable specified in the Makefile -- e.g., you can use"make PREFIX=/opt/pciutils install" to create a separate installationnot interfering with the rest of your system.  Setting the DESTDIR variablewill allow you to install to a different directory from the one you intendto eventually run it from.  This is useful for people who are packagingpciutils to install on other computers.The configure script will automatically enable support for a compressedpci.ids if you have zlib installed.  You can override its guess by using"make ZLIB=no" or "make ZLIB=yes".  If compressed support is enabled,pciutils will use pci.ids.gz in preference to pci.ids, even if thepci.ids file is newer.  If the pci.ids.gz file is missing, it will usepci.ids instead.When you are bored of dumping PCI registers, just use "make uninstall".3. Getting new ID's~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The database of PCI ID's (the pci.ids file) gets out of date much fasterthan I release new versions of this package.If you are missing names for any of your devices or you just want to stayon the bleeding edge, download the most recent pci.ids file fromhttp://pciids.sf.net/ (e.g., by running the update-ids utility).If your devices still appear as unknown, please send us their ID's andnames, the detailed instructions for submissions are listed on thesf.net web page.4. Getting new versions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~New versions of pciutils are available at the following places:	ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/linux/pci/	ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/utils/pciutils/ (expect a couple of hours delay)	ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/hardware/ (expect a couple of days delay)There is also a public GIT tree at:	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git5. Using the library~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There is still no documentation for the library, if you want to use itin your programs, please follow the comments in lib/pci.h and in theexample program lib/example.c.6. Feedback~~~~~~~~~~~If you have any bug reports or suggestions, send them to the author.If you have any new ID's, I'll be very glad to add them to the database, butplease take a look at http://pciids.sf.net/ first and follow the instructions.If you want, subscribe to linux-pci@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz (send"subscribe linux-pci" to majordomo@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz).Release notes about new versions will be send to the list and problems withthe Linux PCI support will be probably discussed there, too.7. Miscellanea~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You also might want to look at the pciutils web page containing releasenotes and other news: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mj/pciutils.shtml .There also exists a utility called PowerTweak which is able to fine tuneparameters of many chipsets much better than the Bridge Optimization codein Linux kernel (already removed in 2.3.x). See http://powertweak.sf.net/for more information.					Have fun							Martin
