+The database of PCI IDs (the pci.ids file) gets out of date much faster
+than I release new versions of this package, so it is maintained separately.
 
-If you are missing names for any of your devices or you just want to stay
-on the bleeding edge, download the most recent pci.ids file from
-http://pciids.sf.net/ (e.g., by running the update-ids utility).
+It lives at http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/, where you can browse the database,
+download the most recent pci.ids file (e.g., by running the update-ids utility)
+and also submit new entries.
 
 Alternatively, you can use `lspci -q' to query the central database
 for new entries via network.
 
-If your devices still appear as unknown, please send us their ID's and
-names, the detailed instructions for submissions are listed on the
-sf.net web page.
+The pci.ids file is also mirrored at https://github.com/pciutils/pciids.
+
+On Linux systems with a recent enough version of libudev, UDEV's HWDB
+database is consulted when pci.ids lacks the device.
