History

Richard Hughes eddaed0c11 Allow specifying more than one VendorID for a device Asking the user for the UID mapping isn't working very well, as it requires lots of manual handholding. It also doesn't work very well when the device vendor does not actually have a PCI ID or if the vendor has split into two entities. Just use the OUI address as an additional VendorID and match any of the device IDs against any of the metadata-supplied values.		2021-01-04 22:30:20 +00:00

UEFI Support

Introduction

Some devices have firmware bugs which mean they do not include a valid ESRT table in old firmware versions.

Create a 'fake' UEFI device with the lowest possible version so that it can be updated to a version of firmware which does have an ESRT table.

All the HwId GUIDs are used for the fake UEFI device, and so should be used in the firmware metadata for releases that should recover the system.

The vendor ID is set from the BIOS vendor, for example DMI:LENOVO

This plugin requires no extra access.
