Hey All,
I have decided to take the initiative of switching to a better management system for the next revision of Driver On Demand.
DKMS (http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms.html) is a driver management system designed by Dell released under the GPL, that not only supports both binary and source packages, but can also patch the source for specific versions of the kernel.
Directly from...

With 2.6.x kernel is not work with all modules why not all sources is prepared for...

Hi
I think that you can add now .linuxdriver file for PCI and miniPCI buses.
I don't know names for CardBus devices.
For usb you need use name "usb".
Also may be good to put Vendor/Product IDs to hotplug and kudzu projects.
Best Regards.
Iouri Atiounkine.

In addition of security risks, there are times when DOD simply cannot connect to servers containing the drivers. After all, it is possible that driver information file contain an web address that is out of date. Besides, constantly monitoring device (un)plugging status eats away processing time, and it may set off firewalls, which will encourage users to compromise their own machines just to...

Hi,
nice (and urgently needed) project!
I just glanced through the .linuxdriver file format,
and I have the following comments:
- it's "mandatory", not "manditory" or other abominations ;)
- what about *external* firmware files required by the driver?
should these be listed in the text file, or instead getting fetched by the driver install script itself?
I...

Hi,
I have found a program "module-assistant" in Debian that "helps users and maintainers with managing external kernel modules". I've not used it yet.
I think it's may be good to support this program in "driver on demand".

Hi,
Can I get .linuxdriver file using driverondemand.pl for searching in repositories?
Example:
driverondemand.pl --bus usb --vid 1020 --pid 3453 > my_device_driver.linuxdriver
Then I execute this command "driverondemand.pl" look for my device in some servers and print xml file,
Thanks

Well, the stats have been dropping on this site. I'm guessing people are under the impression that I have stopped working on driver on demand. The reason that I have been quiet has been that I have been working on a online driver search engine which will work eventually with Driver On Demand.
So far, the base has been developed, and I am working on a few more changes to make it usable (the...
