I have a few ideas, other people do to, but no one has enough coding hours. You are always welcome to join and start working on some of them :)Yankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006445457394865979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96033924639858208.post-55621021509001396412008-03-27T07:31:00.000+01:002008-03-27T07:31:00.000+01:00Smolt needs a broader definition of "works" for ha...Smolt needs a broader definition of "works" for hardware.<BR/>What features are working for a specific piece of hardware.<BR/>Are there open specs for the hardware so bugs can be fixed and features can be added.<BR/>Is there any software which can use the feature.<BR/><BR/>Maybe a link with the driver of the hardware would be useful. A wireless network driver could list what features it supports and the hardware page could the select features from that list which it support.<BR/><BR/>Eg. e1000 driver supports feature X, Y and Z and the card in my machine supports X and Y and possibly has a new feature W which isn't supported by the driver.<BR/><BR/>Of course there can be more than one driver per hardware device. E.g. my webcam has both usb video and usb audio drivers.<BR/><BR/>It is really hard to say "yes, this works" unless you know what features the hardware has.<BR/><BR/>Well, there are plenty of things that could be done, I hope you get some desktop integration as well. I small program that could run tests on the hardware to confirm that t works would be great.<BR/><BR/>Good luck :)<BR/>RenéAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
