Running ScanModem- error message [solved]

Hi,

I'm trying to run 'ScanModem' to get the chipset of my winmodem. However
when I do I get the message:

WARNING: lspci not found  - exiting
Please install the package: pciutils

So I updated pciutils using pacman -S (which went fine) and then tried to install it using pacman - A whereupon I get the error

loading package data... could not open package: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Try:
pacman -Sy pciutils
It should update the db and install it.  The -A option is to be used with the full filename of the package.

To detect your modem, you could also try lshwd (pacman -S lshwd). Run lshwd and it will autodetect your hardware.

Thanks Snowman,

lshwd works like a dream!
