What i am wondering about is the last two distributions (with devfs) seem to have no easy way to force a piece of hardware. Example my modem is a Topic communications controller using ioport a400 irq 5 and the pci stuff picks this up but Harddrake (which shifts to a blank console btw) has no clue that this "unknown" piece of hardware is a modem! also a bunch of chipset stuff on my MB is picked up but not id'd and none of my drives have known OEMs when all of them have the OEM name in the device description.
My suggestion for 8.2+ is have Hardrake allow typed id's and then sending of the file to the mantainer (speaking of which that would be??? and does this person read e-mails) on a side note where on the cds is setserial since i need to set my modem up as a serial port and how do i create a serial port for this device to use??
