#4 Automatic downloading of drivers.

[stamit]

It's quite easy to use wget to do a query to some
central HTTP server which will return all necessary
info about how to get a driver for a specific
(USB|PCI|*) device (especially from a shell script),
so why isn't this feature supported (yet)?

This is not the part of the hotplug package to do this.

If you want this kind of functionality, I suggest you start
up a separate project.
