Title:
  lshw -C disk reports incomplete firmware version

Status in lshw:
  Confirmed
Status in lshw package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lshw

  I was able to reproduce this bug in both Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu
  10.04.1 LTS.

  When getting firmware version information about a hard disk, the
  following command reports incomplete information:

  sudo lshw -C disk

  Here is example output:

    *-disk
         description: ATA Disk
         product: INTEL SSDSA2M040
         physical id: 0.0.0
         bus info: scsi at 2:0.0.0
         logical name: /dev/sda
         version: 2CV1
         serial: CVGB036100TS040NGN
         size: 37GiB (40GB)
         capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos
         configuration: ansiversion=5 signature=000daa5d

  In the above output, "version: 2CV1" should have been "2CV102DH". In
  another system with a standard SATA disk (non-SSD), the version was
  also truncated by 4 characters.

  This is very inconvenient when trying to determine if such a disk
  needs a firmware upgrade on a headless system.

  Palimpsest (under (System > Administration > Disk Utility) reports the
  right information. See attached screenshot.
