pciutils-2.2.9-net1

[Martin `MJ' Mares]

Mili Linuxovi kolegove,

zase jsem jednou do pciutils dodelal docela zajimavou featurku,
totiz zjistovani jmen neznamych zarizeni pomoci DNS. Zatim je
ve stadiu alfa, ale kdybyste meli chut si pohrat a pripadne mi
poslat nejaky ten bug report, budu moc rad.

Hello, world!\n

I have shaken the dust off my experimental version of the pciutils
which uses the DNS to resolve unknown ID's. The code is now much closer
to a releasable form: it maintains a local cache of ID's resolved ID's,
lspci has got a couple of options to control the resolving and lib/names.c
have been split to manageable chunks.

You can get the experimental tarball from:

	ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/linux/pci/alpha/pciutils-2.2.9-net1.tar.gz

or fetch the `network' branch from:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git

Alpha testers are welcome, especially on non-Linux systems. (I have enabled
this feature in the configure script on all architectures except AIX, but
I bet that it will need some tweaks, in particular concerning usage of the
more esoteric resolver functions from libresolve.a.)

I would also welcome people volunteering to run a secondary DNS server
for the DNS zone to help balance the load.

(The zone is still not updated automatically, but I have brough it in sync
with the today's snapshot.)
