BTW, can we maybe add a wiki page for "How to get undetected hardware
detected", with all the instructions on pcmcia, monitorsdb, usb, pci etc
etc, and how to report new hardware? I think it would save quite a bit
of time.

Also, if ddxcinfos (and cardctl ident for pcmcia, and lspcidrake for pci
etc) knows all the information the user doesn't, why not have a script
(or even better, a draktool) which allows the user to be prompted for
the rest of the information, to be sent to a bot that collects the info?
Even better, if it sends the information to a db, and/or queries the db
on how to get the hardware working (and allow users to enter that too if
the hardware doesn't work out the box, like hardware which requires
firmware).

Regards,
Buchan
