You know anything about this group: Bad Penguin Linux?  They were using 
a hardware detection program. The distro seems to be missing in action, 
but the person listed is here: Antonio Gallo

http://freshmeat.net/projects/libhardware (bad links)
and the software is at the site http://www.linux.it, but I can't really 
read the docs, I am just too ignorant of Italian. What I can read in 
english sounds good.

libhardware is a very small static library used in many utilities that 
are part of Antonio Gallo's (AGX) GNU/Linux distribution, "Bad Penguin". 
It provides functions to access information about your system hardware, 
to detect the hardware, and to handle kernel modules automatically. It 
is able to enumerate all PCI devices, enumerate all EIDE disks and 
CDROMs, enumerate all SCSI disks and CDROMs, enumerate all EIDE/SCSI 
disk partitions, and check if a detected device is supported in the 
Linux kernel using a custom PCI database. The included shell scripts 
'probedisk' and 'probepart' detect disks, CDROMs, and partitions. The 
included 'scanmodule' utility allows you to detect and load kernel 
module automatically.

The software is available at http://www.linux.it/ in there CVS. Any 
ideas on whether this would work for us?
