Just noticed, in System Settings > Hardware Configuration,
under Serial bus controller:
SPI contr.
Unknown device name
Serial IO I2C contr.
USB 3.1 xHCI contr.
SMBus contr.

I looked at dmesg but noticed nothing.
Any idea how to find out which device this is?

Thanks.

You’re probably looking for this:

I think line 00:15.2 is the one, still searching…

is an unknown device so it won’t show up in the next kernel neither but I found this in the metadata of an Intel page:

Intel® Serial IO I2C Host Controller

But that’s used in Intel NUCs only, so I’d contact your manufacturer with the above question. (I think Medion is :de: )

The unknown device seems to be a PCI device, see my previous post, lspci.
Tried enabling/disabling webcam/TPM in BIOS.
Looked in /usr/share/hwdata/*.ids
I have also tried older kernels but it’s the same.

So I just didn’t notice it ever before and has probably always been the case.
Maybe I’ll try another live distro to find out.

Thanks so far.

If they would find something that Manjaro didn’t find, you’d be the first because IMH experience, it’s always the other way around: people move to Manjaro to get to use their shiny gadgets because other distro’s don’t support these.
