Disable network fetch of PCI database by default #29

Closed jaypipes closed 2 years ago

jaypipes commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately, pcidb was abusing the hosting of the PCIIDS database (see Issue #28). Looks like CI/CD jobs were executing in containers and the container filesystem did not contain the linux host PCIIDS database, causing pcidb to fetch the latest from the pci-ids.ucw.cz website.

This PR disables the network fetch behaviour of pcidb by default, which should hopefully address the abusive calls to the pci-ids.ucw.cz hosting service.

I'm working separately with @fromanih from Red Hat to identify any CI jobs that might have triggered the fetch storm...
