Shell Direct lookup of Vid Pid

B

balanga

How can I use the Vid Pid output from lsusb to find out what driver support exists?

lsusb shows

Bus /dev/usb Device /dev/ugen1.6: ID 048d:9006 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT9135 BDA Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle

lynx https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:[B]048d-9006[/B]

shows some info about (Linux) support for this device.

I guess a simple sed/awk script could provide a direct lookup, but I can't get my head around the simplest way of doing this.

Any suggestions?

If I get this working I'll try and find a FreeBSD equivalent, although I'm not sure if such a thing exists or not.
 
EDIT: Complete statement.
Not at the computer atm, but I would guess:
lsusb | awk '{print "lynx https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:[B]$6[/B]"}'
 
I find it hard to take this topic seriously when you are referencing a linux tool on FreeBSD.

We use usbconfig and it does everything you will ever need. Ever.

Also I suggest you read /etc/devd.conf and study what happens when you plug in a usb drive.
 
If you have the source tree installed you can lookup the PID and VID from there.

Find when new hardware is connected on FreeBSD

How can I find out when a device is connected to my FreeBSD machine? Lets say I plug in a USB device, HDMI device, Bluetooth or something like that. Can I have a console output to say [device] and...

usbconfig:-

Code: 
ugen1.6: <ITE Technologies, Inc. DVB-T TV Stick> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)

lsusb:-

Code: 
Bus /dev/usb Device /dev/ugen1.6: ID 048d:9006 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT9135 BDA Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle

Personally, I prefer having easy access to the Vid/Pid.

Am I right in thinking this list is almost 20 years old?

You may want to try usbconfig -d ugen1.6 dump_device_desc
usbconfig(8) has other subcommands too.
 
I would like to expand on usbconfig a little.

While balanga was proud of his lsusb I was a jerk to him. sorry for that..

usbconfig
Code: 
ugen0.1: <Intel EHCI root HUB> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.1: <Intel EHCI root HUB> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.2: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0024> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen0.2: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0024> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.3: <Broadcom Corp 5880> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

Notice how some devices have the format that balanga prefers.
ugen1.2: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0024> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)

Why is that?
It is because there is no device driver found and it gives you the PID and VID (ironically here Intel)

Now notice what a recognized device looks like:
ugen1.3: <Broadcom Corp 5880> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)
No VID and PID but the proper device name. You don't need it because it is working. Check software config.

That's my two cents on usbconfig.
