Jeremy,

This feature is top priority as soon as we wrap up the 3.2 release of
SystemImager.

With regard to your driver ordering issue, there was a bug in 3.0.x
versions along these lines: the tool that did autodetection sorted
modules by name (if I recall).  This has been fixed in 3.1.x/3.2.

Are you experiencing this with the 3.1.x code that is in the oscar beta?

-Brian
