If you don't speak DocBook, that's OK, file a PR with some English text and someone will mark it up for you. I'll probably be the one to do it, but if I'm lucky some other doc committer will take pity on me and help out. Note that in some cases, the hardware notes could be updated using information from the manual pages from a driver. Knowing that something *doesn't* work is more useful to whoever maintains a particular driver. There's some areas where there are a gazillion supported devices (I'm thinking of USB hubs as an example) where we can probably shorten the list by saying "in general, all devices of type FOO are supported". Thanks, Bruce. PS. Someone else pointed out that my "pedestrian hardware" comment was a bit ambiguous. I would appreciate help documenting less-mundane hardware. I'm not asking for donations of hardware. :-) --==_Exmh_-513223036P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5+ 20020506 iD8DBQE+ntlm2MoxcVugUsMRArPWAJ9Jhq/D4NOJQ3mipjwFqwL5ocDt/QCdG/3y 7zHg7IrzCjoB1gAqdk4E0Wo= =r0gE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-513223036P--
