I read through the thread and I didn't get that idea at all. In fact, the idea I got was more confusion than anything. I.e., people are reading the problem in different ways. What I advocate, and I believe several others here are advocating, is that we offer a _minimal_ amount of information. E.g., 1) You cross-reference the PCI/USB/etc... Vendor ID to a name, possibly also spit out the product name. That informs the user. 2) If the Device ID is a known, binary-only issue that Fedora cannot redistribute, inform the user that these drivers do not come with Fedora, and a Bugzilla entry should _not_ be filed for support. In fact, #2 would _also_ have the added bonus of addressing the endless number of bug reports being filed -- something one person explicitly complained about in that thread. -- Bryan J.
