Installation guide

Each PCI device is identified by a string in the following format (where 8086 is a variable that
in this case represents Intel equipment, and **** is a four digit hexadecimal code specific to
each device):
pci_8086_****
Note
Comparing lspci output to lspci -n (which turns off name resolution) output can
assist in deriving which device has which device identifier code.
Record the PCI device number; the number is needed in other steps.
