Package: discover1-data (2.2008.06.25+nmu1)

Data lists for Discover hardware detection system (legacy format)

The Discover hardware detection library uses XML data files to describe software interfaces to various ATA, PCI, PMCMIA, SCSI, and USB devices. While the Discover library can retrieve data from anywhere on the net, it is often convenient to have a set of Discover XML data files on one's system; thus, this package.

This package contains files in a legacy format for the benefit of users of an older version of Discover, Discover 1.x. The libdiscover1 library requires this package to look up information about various hardware devices using the identification data that they report. It contains data detailing various PCI, PCMCIA, and USB devices. The hardware lists for Discover 1.x contain Linux kernel module information corresponding only to Linux 2.2.20; module names for Linux 2.4.x are also provided in many cases for the convenience of 2.4.x users, but only where they do not conflict with 2.2.20 module names.
