So shall we just file a BZ for this then :-)

Ok. I will send you a patch shortly.
Cool.
Next, where did you want to add a GUI for this? What did you envision it
looking like? Can I help out on this one?
I envision a similar experience to that e.g. a Windows user could get
when they insert a new device and get a dialog that walks them through
finding a driver for it - this requires:
* A central online, independent database to provide "hints" about third
party repo locations. I already planned for this to use modalias
information, along the lines of your proposal - thanks for doing that
work! We don't want to be in the business of hosting. I talked to Matt
and a few others about this and will work on a proposed standard to kick
of conversation on this in due course - I want to involve Dell, SuSE,
IBM and others who have expressed an interest in being involved.
* Hooks for udev/hal. We need a client/server that listens to messages
on the SYSTEM bus and notices when we don't have a driver for a device.
If we don't have one, then we kick up a fuss with a dialog but split
this in two so a GUI Desktop is not *required*. Think NetworkManager. I
also want this tool later to allow configuration of depmod.d configs so
we can override the search ordering of installed drivers and allow a
user to replace one driver with another - think "hardware manager".
Ok. Thanks for the overview. Sounds very sane. I'll take a look at this.
Cool. I know it sounds sane, but that's because I've not gone into it
too much so far - I'm sure I can make it much more convoluted if I just
put my mind to it.
Yeah. First test was negative...but it might just be too early. My gf is
positive for mono though and I've never had it before so... :-)
I think we all know the solution to this problem.
Yeah. But it's the previous exposure that I'm worried about and the
incubation period - and the fact that I have symptoms. I've read that
mass quantities of folate/vitamin C can help so I've added that to the
list of medications I'm taking...and way too much coffee too.
Jon.
