Hi.
I was wondering if you guys could create a package/script that would
scan the hardware and compare DeviceID's and offer command to install
them, like "to install those drivers run this: 'yum install kmod-***' "
I see nvidia-detect works in similar way. It would greatly help for
cases where there is no internet but there is a local copy of packages
(LiveDVD's, repo from file://), not to mention making life easier and
CentOS more attractive for newbies.
If there is a hardware that is not recognized, it could show DeviceID.
On top of all of that, package might recognize divers that exist in
kernel-lt and kernel-ml, with suggestion that that might solve their
problem (with a warning notice about not being offical CentOS kernel or
what ever).
Is there a chance for something like that?
