I thing it's better under > development and support more hardware (RedHat needs to extend the > supported haradware everytime) I played a bit with kudzu (Red Hat's hardware detection thingy) and it has a nice C and Python API, and on the three "computers" (my normal work station, my laptop and vmware) I tried it on it was very fast. However, 1) It prints non-devfs names even on a devfs machine. This is probably not an issue, as I don't think any udebs are actually using the device names from discover. 2) It doesn't find pcnet32 or via-rhine (the NICs in vmware and my laptop) It does say 8139too for RTL card though. ;) I think we should wait for discover2 and see what it does. Kudzu doesn't seem much better than discover1... Another thing, I think it's better to run a full hardware detection scan as early as possible. We won't be able to load many of those modules, but if we can categorize them and store them somewhere smart, cdrom-detect can then load the cdrom-related modules and look for CDs, ethdetect can load network-related modules et.c. /Martin -- Martin Sjögren sjogren@debian.org -- marvin@dum.chalmers.se GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = "hello" : hello in putStr (unlines hello)
