intuitively? (Moreover, I'm asked to do this in two different places.)
These names depend on driver writer, if you don't know just use the
default. Optionally I can move it to some "advanced" settings.
Is there a case where a normal person would want the non-default?
3) How is the user supposed to know whether to use kudzu, /proc, or HAL
detection? Why are they even *given* a choice???
I'm failing to see what sort of usage case this is solving. Surely this
should all just work?
It's because:
kudzu detects only internal cards (kudzu doesn't detect USB cards well),
[...]
Proc detects all cards fine, but it isn't "preferred" and works only
when drivers are succesfully loaded.
[...]
HAL detects only cards with correct /sys entries (so it doesn't detect

So, when HAL detects all devices fine, I'll remove proc&kudzu.
Why not, in the meantime, do them all? Or do HAL first, and if that fails,
kudzu, and if that fails, proc? (Possibly with a "look for more" button?)
this would be a good idea
something like no soundcard found should I try an other method to
detect? yes -no
