Hey guys, 

I have a problem with running lscfg for Ubuntu Linux
10.4. The original question was posted at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26012112/how-can-i-fix-lscfg-is-not-supported-on-the-unknown-for-ubuntu-linux
and then
http://superuser.com/questions/816100/how-can-i-fix-lscfg-is-not-supported-on-the-unknown-for-ubuntu-linux.
My machine is this one: 

uname -a
Linux  3.0.0-22-server
#36~lucid1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 13 15:59:42 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Here is the question: 

I wanted to get information about the physical
location of my PCI cards and found that lscfg for AIX looked exactly
like what I needed. [lsvpd-1.7.4][1] that includes lscfg does exist for
Linux. As I am developing on Ubuntu 10.4 I had to get these two other
libs:

 - [libvpd-2.2.1][2] (trial and error for this one really)
 -
[librtas-1.3.12][3] (just the most recent version)

After successfully
compiling and installing the lsvpd tools I ran lscfg and the other
tools. Sadly, I get the response "lscfg is not supported on the Unknown"
for this and a similar one for all the other tools. Do the tools not
work on Ubuntu Linux or Linux in general? Can I fix my problem somehow?
The tools seem to be in active development for rpm-based
systems.

____
Note:
In particular, I need a line like this for my
network adapters (and possibly other cards):

"eth0
U787A.001.DNZ00Z5-P1-T5" (Source: [zombieprocess][4])

and wouldn't mind
any other Ubuntu Linux program that can do that. I asked a [question][5]
about this on stackoverflow already but didn't get the answer that I
needed.
