pcidatabase.com gone
The website “pcidatabase.com” was a helpful resource for identifying unknown hardware and finding the right drivers for computer hardware. However, it seems that the website is no longer available. Several alternatives have been suggested, such as “devicehunt.com” and “pcilookup.com,” which serve a similar purpose of identifying unknown devices using vendor and device IDs. Additionally, “pciutils/pciids” on GitHub is recommended as an alternative for identifying unknown devices. If you have an unknown device, you can use these alternatives to find the necessary information and drivers.

The “pci.ids” file, which contains a list of all known PCI ID's, is maintained by the “pciutils” project. The file is mirrored on GitHub at the “pciutils/pciids” repository[1]. It is also available from the website “https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/" and its mirror on GitHub[4]. The “pci.ids” file is used to display the names of devices based on their PCI IDs. It is not part of the “pciutils” package but is included in many Linux distributions as part of the “pciutils” package[4].
