Well, it is about a thousand entries long, and I beleive it to be fairly complete. There weren't *that* many EISA cards produced, anyway :-).
Andries> What use is a very long and very incomplete list?
A big part of this database contains in fact ISA cards for which an EISA config file exists. So it could be trimmed down to 50%, I think. I was thinking the database could be useful for ISAPNP (since it uses the same IDs).
Anyway, I don't really care about this list. It was just an effort to mimic what the PCI code did for years, with a database that is 5 times bigger, and still growing. At least with EISA, it won't be growing that much... :-)

If people are ready to give up this kind of thing, fair enough :
$ cat /sys/devices/pci0/00\:0c.0/name Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet] $ cat /sys/devices/eisa/00\:05/name 3Com EtherLink III Bus Master EISA (3C592) Network Adapter
But once again, the EISA list is not a big deal. I care about the core code and the drivers, not the fancy naming. If it has to go, it will.
