RHBA-2006:0244 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pciutils packages that remove a warning for x86_64 and add the
update-pciids shell-script and manpage are now available.

Description

The pciutils package contains various utilities for inspecting and setting
devices connected to the PCI bus.

The warning "has a 64-bit address, ignoring" which is displayed on x86_64
architectures has been removed.
The update-pciids shell-script and manpage are added to pciutils, which
