To better support frameworks that report GPU device names, it would be useful for the /usr/share/misc/pci.ids file to be dynamically updated on build:

  • Install pciutils package
  • Execute /sbin/update-pciids

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never encountered an incomplete/unidentified/wrong PCI device name but from what I found

If you notice that lspci command is not displaying the proper device name for any of the devices that are connected to your PCI bus, this might be because the PCI IDs on your system is not current.

it looks like a good practice to update the PCI IDs list. However, the users might still need to run the command if hashcat updates become less frequent.

Added in the Dockerfile.

Perfect! The time it comes up most often is when a card was issued later than the OS was - not frequent, but a bit of a pain when it does happen. Thanks very much - looks great!
