Description Jaromir Hradilek 2011-08-26 16:25:41 UTC 
The Hardware section in the Deployment Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 describes how to obtain information about hardware by using the hwbrowser and hal-device-manager utilities. However, these utilities are no longer available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and there is no replacement for the graphical user interface. As a replacement for the original content, it would be nice to provide documentation on how to get similar results by using the udevadm utility along with the /sys file system.
