51 If memory serves, udev/eudev generates the nodes/devices in /dev now.
52 To get the correct hardware ID, it uses a specific database.
53
54 The hardware ID's database may need to be updated ( or supplemented ).
55 The package "sys-apps/pciutils" has the hardware database included in it.
56
57 I have a 990FX chipset MB that is constantly ID as a 880 chipset board.
58 No info on 990FX chipsets found in the hardware ID's database.
59 The kernel keeps applying a 880 chipset workaround for the PCI bus,
60 every boot.
61
62 Same problem I think, different hardware.
