Klaus: "hwsetup is a small C program I wrote, it uses RedHat's GPL-ed libkudzu and some manually generated hardware/module tables to identify peripherals, load the necessary modules for them, create symlinks in /dev for different devices and write some description files in /etc/sysconfig for later use by scripts."
