[John S. <jo...@st...>]

I checked the archive and the question's been asked before:

but at the point the error occurs the code is trying to parse an `ls -l` 
not an `lspci` (though Pontius' inference that I don't have lspci 
installed on my machine is correct (ndiswrapper 0.8 for Ralink 2500 on 
Mdk 10.0)

	open(LS2, "ls -1 $confdir/$driver|");
	my $ret = "";

	while(my $device = <LS2>)
	{
		chomp($device);
		my $d = $device;
		$d =~ s/.conf//;
		if($d =~ /(.{4}):(.{4}):(.{4}):(.{4})/)
		{
			for(my $i = 0; $$cards[$i]; $i++)

(My Perl knowledge has been swapped out too long - can anybody upclue me 
on what $$foo[$bar] should do?)

On my system `ls -l` produces a list like:
total 192

Another slightly peripheral Q: what is lspci and can/should (and where 
can) I get it for my system?
