... so for drivers that work the originating device has a driver field
in hal:
(the net device)
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_50_8d_93_42_31'
info.capabilities = {'net', 'net.80203', 'wake_on_lan'} (string list)
info.category = 'net.80203' (string)
info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.WakeOnLan'} (string list)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_373_0' (string)
info.product = 'Networking Interface' (string)
info.subsystem = 'net' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_50_8d_93_42_31' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'net' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/net/eth3' (string)
...
(the originating pci entry has a "forcedeth" info.linux.driver field)
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_373_0'
info.linux.driver = 'forcedeth' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string)
info.product = 'MCP55 Ethernet' (string)
info.subsystem = 'pci' (string)
...
I think only broadcom drivers get this wrong and should be fixed.
(BTW, we have a patch in ubuntu NM because of this driver issue as NM
usually doesnt attempt to manage device with no driver info)
