Re: [gmodconfig-users] Similarity

Hi,
thanks for the pointer. A linux hardware database is a good idea.
What have you got so far?

I was looking at CLAN w.r.t automating the download, build and
install of kernel modules:

I'm also going towards using XSA to check new modules' versions.

I haven't given much thought about automatic hardware probing
in gmodconfig. I think Red Hat and others already have tools to
do this, which could be leveraged.
