Try copying /sbin/lspci to /opt/ltsp/i386/sbin/lscpi

Then, set RUNLEVEL = 3 in lts.conf, and boot the workstation
to a bash prompt.

Run the lspci -n, and see if that works.

As for having to run '/sbin/lspci -n' that just indicates that you
don't have your path setup correctly.  Did you possibly do
an 'su' command without the '-' ?

Anytime you want to change to super user, you should do it
like this:

   su -

that will setup the environment properly, including the PATH,
so that it points to /sbin as well as some other directories.

If you can't get lspci working on the workstation, then
you could try doing this on the workstation:

   cut -b 1-14 /proc/bus/pci/devices

that will produce 2 columns of output.  Send me what it says,
and i'll try to pick out the info from there.
