Description ryan smith 2010-04-19 11:13:23 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 SUSE/3.6.3-1.2 Firefox/3.6.3

I have a feature request for OpenSUSE 11.3. In Yast's Software management, there should be a "missing drivers/firmware" section where once a user clicks on there it will scan a PC's hardware that doesn't have a driver/firmware, then it will display the missing drivers/firmware that users can download.

This will save alot of time for beginners who don't even know what drivers/firmware they need for their wifi card, printer, etc.

Reproducible: Always

For Features we have a seperate tool - openfate.

Would you be so kind and fill this feature there, please.
