Most programs use the pci.ids database, which is shipped with pciutils. For example, the lspci tool uses that database to match the device and vendor ids with their names. It's a plain text file, and can be updated regularly by using the update-pciids tool, shipped in the same package.

I don't know if that's what you need. It might worth a look, though.

I just came across this question during a google search, and thought I could supplement i92guboj's fine answer with this:

If you need to find what the devices IDs might be, for PCI cards installed right now, try using '-n' with lspci . It displays the numbers without performing a lookup in the device id list.
