===== How to find the vendor-id and device-id (PCI-ID) of a Wireless LAN PCMCIA or PCCARD =====

The Vendor-ID and the Device-ID (or both together the PCI-ID) are the unique Number for every typ of Wireless LAN Card. Drivers discover //there// card with that number. Companies change marketingsnames and device numbers very fast or they change the chipset and //not// the name.

  * Vendor ID
  * Device ID
  * Subsystem ID

Therefor it is important to know the IDs of your Card.

How do i find the vendor-id and device-id of my Wireless LAN card?

==== Mac OS X ====

Open Terminal and type ''ioreg -bl'' and search for your device

==== Linux ====

=lspci= für PCI und PC-Card

=cardinfo= für PC-Card (PCMCIA)

=lsusb= für USB


==== [[sysadmin:netbsd|NetBSD]] ====

=pcictl=

In meinem [[sysadmin:netbsd|NetBSD]] geht das z.B. mit ''pcictl pci2 dump -d 2''

==== Windows ====

Google schlägt vor: http://www.miray.de/de/products/sat.pcisniffer.html  (Ausprobiert habe ich es nicht, mir reicht ''lspci''. ;-) )
