From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: running the hwbrowser correctly identifies both my CD drives (DVD and CDRW) by Manufacturer, driver, and availabilty. Ditto for my network card. OTH, the rest of my hardware is only partially identified, even though the same info correctly displays in KDE's Control Center. (*Except* for sound, which KDE reports "no information available*!!) Please see in Additional Information what and how information on my hardware is displayed. IMHO, this is self-evident where there are inconsistencies or errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run hwbrowser 2. 3. Actual Results: Displays only _partially correct_ information on my system's hardware Expected Results: Should correctly identify Manufacturer, device, and that device is active (*not* "N/A") Additional info: HW Browser shows: Floppy Disks 3.5" 1.44MB floppy drive Manufacturer: Unknown Driver:unknown Device:/dev/fd0 REM: There is no floppy drive connected to the motherboard.

Ok, there are a number of issues in this report, but I'll try to sort it out. The hardware info in hwbrowser is provided by kudzu, so some of these issues may actually be kudzu bugs instead of hwbrowser. 1) Kudzu reports a floppy drive even though there isn't one. I've filed this as bug #83682. 2) hwbrowser was not showing the Manufacturer for USB devices. This should be fixed in hwbrowser-0.8-6. 3) hwbrowser was showing "Device:" as "N/A" for many devices. I've changed it so that the Device line only appears if kudzu returns a valid device. This should be fixed in hwbrowser-0.8-6 The USB UHCI devices sort of bug me since there's no manufacturer data to show, but I can't do much about that. I think that's about all I can reasonably fix for this release. QA, please verify.
There is a stack of 64 bugs that have been in Modified state for a long period of time. I am closing these as Rawhide now. If you find that the issue is not fixed, please reopen this report.
