This sounds like a good idea in terms of automation. Currently we still have not fully figured out how to extract good and valid information from dmesg, pciconf, kldstat (and dmidecode). As long as this is not solved clearly we have to rely on manual user input, as we do not want too many false positives. (at least for driver support) For mapping notebook devices, it would be a good way to gather data more quickly than to actually get the vendors to do this thanks for the info and keep suggesting :-) On Mon, Jan 9, 2012 at 7:09 AM, Subbsd <subbsd@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 4:10 PM, =E5=9B=BE=E6=BD=98 <patula777@gmail.com> = wrote: > > Thanks for pointing out the site. > > >From a first look I would say bsdstats.org is interesting for vendors > > (stats about who is using what device on system X) whereas our project = is > > interesting for users (showing what device is supported on system X). > > Nevertheless, You can try to add support of your project into the port > sysutils/bsdstats ( with a permission of the author) > Gathering of the information and periodic post there are already > realized.
