Is today F7 ? Updated ?

The text info IINM comes pci.ids provided by hwinfo. On my F7 system 
that is:
hwdata-0.200-1.fc7
Build Date: Tue 10 Apr 2007

  yum --enablerepo=development list hwdata
shows:
hwdata.noarch   0.207-1.fc8   development

You might be able to get at least the correct message by updating to the 
soon to be F8 version. This doesn't try to bring in any other files.

But I have an idea that udev / hal ? provide the actual mappings...
