Description
Now we have post-build-time install for proprietary drivers in Einarc, it would be nice to have some sort of auto-detection that would choose which drivers should be used based on PCI data and recommend which drivers to download.
It may be implemented as following:- User install a package "einarc".
- User runs "einarc-install --modules=detect", where "detect" is some sort of magic value of modules (just as "none" and "all") that runs autodetection routines.
- Every module would include a constant with a list of PCI identifiers to look for.
- A list of all PCI devices (derived using lspci, for example, or from read /sys or /proc) is scanned for these identifiers, if a match is found, then module that corresponds to found PCI device should be activated => proprietary utilities would be downloaded during execution on "einarc-install".
