Expect hatred. Just doing text processing over the output of dmesg(8) won't give you the complete list of drivers required to run a machine properly. It may work, or it may not, and imho it's just making it easier for users to shoot themselves in the foot. For no real good reason. -- JC)rC)mie CourrC(ges-Anglas GPG fingerprint: 61DB D9A0 00A4 67CF 2A90 8961 6191 8FBF 06A1 1494
