So, I would go for the > proc files. Proc files are not always on the system. As far as I know you have to chose in the Kernl-Configuration. And second of all I had some problem with a debian distrubotion. I dont know for what reason there was no USB given in the /proc/... Files. But lspci did found it. And the Kernel was correctly configurated. I didnt solved that problem. i just installed Kubuntu and everybody was happy. For that reason I dont trust /proc files anymore. > Well, lspci is for PCI bus devices, it's already a > lot, but not > everything (that's why you need several > scripts/methods to detect > hardware, I guess). Lspci do find other Hardware as well. Like USB, Ethernet, ISA, Firewire... Regards Ahmad Reza Cheraghi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
