IPCop IDMap

Explanation to find and report supported/unsupported hardware.

To know if your usb and pci hardware will be recognised by IPCop v1.4, you could check the ID with the PCI ID map and with the USB ID map list produced after compilation. For ISA cards there is no such facility available.

The fastest way to check if the hardware is supported is to test. Installing IPCop is an easy job of only a few minutes (~ 15 minutes, less if you are more experienced). If your hardware is not recognised:

• first make sure the hardware is working, try swapping PCI slots for example
• identity the driver that is used for the hardware by using a (recent) 2.6 kernel (for example KNOPPIX)
• find the id of your hardware
  • for PCI, use lspci and lspci -n or cat /proc/pci/devices during install
  • for USB, use cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
• check if the vendor ID and device ID are present on the kernel compiled for IPCop (using above lists)

If the ID are known on IPCop kernel, that means that the driver or the installation process does not work as intented, this usually means the hardware is defective. If the ID are not known, that means that the ID have to be added to the driver (sometime just the ID, sometime with more changes).

In any case, please report the problem with the ID values and drivername in the Bug tracking system
