They scan the hardware for identifying codes, and information provided by the hardware. If the manufacturer didn't fill in the data, or stuffed it with nonsense (my BIOS is full of 1234567890 serial codes), then you won't get far with it. That sort of nonsense doesn't help Windows users trying to install hardware, either. They get some disc with half a dozen drivers for their budget graphics/sound/network card, and they have to pick which one to use, because the system can't do it for them. Faced with trying to read technobabble output, you could have posted the whole thing to the list for more help with it. At least you can with command line tools. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)
