I'll see what I can do. But I suspect it will take me longer to find
my way around the code then it will for you do to the work.

OK. This sounds good for the next iteration.

This too.
Right now I am just desperate after getting a package that works.
This means a way to get the required information out of discover, and
I suspect the best way is to get the needed functionality into the
--format argument. I never got any replies on this problem. Is it
possible to get the name of the card out of discover using the
--format argument?
Using short lists, or dropping a library dependency do not help if the
program itself is useless. And at the moment, with a busybox missing
the paste tool, it do not work at all.
I want the equivalent for this command line for discover1:
/sbin/discover --format="%m\t%V %M\n"
This make it easy to handle the result using a shell script. There is
also the bug in discover printing empty entries with a newline.

Where can I fetch the current CVS version of discover2?
