Chapter 11. Hardware enablement


The following chapters contain the most notable changes to hardware enablement between RHEL 9 and RHEL 10.

11.1. Unmaintained hardware support

The following devices (drivers, adapters) are available but are no longer tested or updated on a routine basis in RHEL 10. Red Hat may fix serious bugs, including security bugs, at its discretion. These devices should no longer be used in production, and it is possible they will be disabled in the next major release.

PCI device IDs are in the format of vendor:device:subvendor:subdevice. If no device ID is listed, all devices associated with the corresponding driver are unmaintained. To check the PCI IDs of the hardware on your system, run the lspci -nn command.
