Is it only me being concerned about the state of discover? Is there anything more I can do to help?Coudn't we use the RedHat discovering tool? I thing it's better under development and support more hardware (RedHat needs to extend the supported haradware everytime)
I took the time to see all those. RedHat uses its own technology, Kudzu to do the hardware detection.KNOPPIX uses another frontend to the Kudzu library, called hwsetup. Which is basically a quick&dirty frontend to the library, but does not (currently) support devfs at all. It uses basically a merge between discover-data and hwdata (from Kudzu) as hardware database, is small and is written in C.
I like discover because it is more configurable and usable from the command-line for specific need (even after booting).
BTW, it would be great to write a small tool for dummies to submit new, still unlisted, hardware.
