Hi all,

I would like to ask how one could retrieve the name of a NIC's vendor using
the PCI vendor ID.
For example, is there any mapping between PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL and a const
char* that returns e.g., "Intel"?

Moreover, why are the vendor IDs redefined by DPDK instead of being reused
from Linux
<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/linux/pci_ids.h>?
It would be more convenient if a single RTE library could expose those IDs
to the applications. Currently I see those IDs being spread across the
different drivers.

Thanks in advance,
