Well, what OS are You running right now? If Linux, Your primary sources of informations should be `lspci', `lsusb', `lsmod' and `zgrep /proc/config.gz'. If windows, device manager would somehow help, but the rest of data should be still found on internet. If You have a laptop or a barebone system, the query "[modelname] linux" should give You reasonable results in google. If You have a desktop, You can just use the data printed on hardware to determine details. Effectively, if You just want to get an idea of the degree of Your hardware support in OpenBSD, You may just boot the install medium and read dmesg without actually installing anything - You'll get the idea. -- Dmitrij D.
