Usage

  use SystemConfig::Hardware;

  my @modifiedfiles = SystemConfig::Hardware::setup($config);

Overview

The Hardware setup routine has 3 phases:

get_devices($config)

In the get_devices stage pci device numbers are collected and returned.

This has only one module that it calls right now, which is SystemConfig::Hardware::DetectPCI.

create_aliases(@devices)

This creates a set of kernel aliases for the hardware that is found if it is an ethernet or token ring card, or it is a scsi device.

build_confs(@aliases)

This modifies the appropriate conf files for the particular distribution.
