I’m trying to get my wireless working on openSUSE 11.1 Gnome installed from the LiveCD and was shocked to find #lspci is not in the system!
Where can I get it from? Is there a package I can get it?

Well if you’re really sure its not just a question of not in your path and su cant find it… Then the package you need is pciutils, search in yast trying a few things(Note wasn’t till I tried file list I got it)
Thanks! I’ll look for it when I get home.
I was just really surprised to find those missing. I looked i the /bin directory and didn’t find it.
I know this may sound dumb, but where is the /sbin directory? I didn’t see it off the /bin directory and I didn’t see it off of / so I’m not sure if I just didn’t see it or if it’s squirreled away somewhere else?
It should be off / sounds strange if it isn’t but can’t really comment don’t use liveCD’s.
Normally essential system binaries are found in sbin it is possible it may end up /usr/sbin but unusual for Suse and certainly on my 11.2 it’s in /sbin/lspci.
Found the /sbin directory in /usr/sbin so thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately, lspci is not in there and I do already have pciutils installed.
Bit of a misunderstanding there is really no reason for Suse not to have /sbin and certainly I don’t know why you don’t have it.
/usr/sbin can be used and is used by other distro’s but for this binary as said on 11.2 m3 factory it is /sbin and I would expect it for 11.1 gnome livecd.
Even checking another distro it should be provided by pciutils so I’m at a lost. Also checking a 11.1 net install it is as expected provided by pciutils and in /sbin
Ok, got things sort-of cleared up.
sudo su
and was thus root. Then everything worked fine (well, sort of… wireless still doesn’t work, but that should be another thread)
Thanks for your help.
