There's a good bit of PCI resource info there, but no slot number.

But that function is misnamed.  It uses bus:dev:function.
dev is being used interchangeably with slot.

In general, for a pee-cee desktop, the slot number can't
be found reliably.

| Hi Experts,
|
| I have a basic qry.
| In a desk-top environment, is there a mechanism to find out which
| PCI card/resource is plugged in to which slot ? In other words, is
| it possible in OS level  to read slot number of a particular PCI
| card plugged in to a desk-top ?  Assume the machine is running in
| Solaris/Linux.
| Any one experienced similar problems ?
|
| Thanks in advance
