-This is an experimental version of the Linux PCI Utilities package.
-Maintained by Martin Mares <mj@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>
+This package contains the PCI Utilities, version 2.1.9.
-pci.ids should be copied to /etc if you want textual PCI ID's.

+All files in this package can be freely distributed and used according

+(at your opinion) any newer version. This is the same distribution
+policy as for the Linux kernel itself -- see /usr/src/linux/COPYING
+for details.
+
+
+ The PCI Utilities package contains a library for portable access to PCI bus
+configuration space and several utilities based on this library. Current
+version works only on Linux and also has an experimental support for FreeBSD,
+but it can be easily extended to work on other systems as well.
+
+ The utilities include: (See manual pages for more details)
+
+ - lspci: displays detailed information about all PCI busses and devices
+ in the system, replacing the original /proc/pci interface.
+
+ - setpci: allows to read from and write to PCI device configuration
+ registers. For example, you can adjust the latency timers with it.
+
+ The library (and therefore all the utilities) can access PCI registers
+either via the /proc/bus/pci interface present since Linux 2.1.82 or
+via direct hardware access (to be used with older kernels and also for
+hardware diagnostics). It's also capable of reading and interpreting
+register dumps printed by `lspci -x'. Unfortunately, there is no documentation
+on how to use the library yet, so if you want to play with it, just ask
+me for whatever you want.
+
+ To compile the package, just run "make". To install it, "make install".
+
+ If you have any bug reports or suggestions, send them to the author.
+
+ 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 with
+the Linux PCI support will be probably discussed there, too.
+
+ You also might want to look at the pciutils web page containing release
+notes and other news: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mj/pciutils.html .
+
+ If you're missing any PCI ID's, please look at the home page of the Linux
+PCI ID Repository at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ and download an updated
+pci.ids file first. If the current version doesn't contain your devices,
+please send us an update either using the Web interface of the Repository
+or just mail a unified diff against the latest pci.ids to pci-ids@ucw.cz.
+
+ There also exists a utility called PowerTweak which is able to fine tune
+parameters of many chipsets much better than the Bridge Optimization code
+in Linux kernel (already removed in 2.3.x). See http://powertweak.sf.net/
+for more information.
+
+ Have fun
