I'm taking my rules file from Giacomo Catenazzi, who developed it originally for a shellscript he wrote. I don't know how he generates the hardware probes; for all I know, he's got code groveling through the module device tables.
I've been meaning to ask you about this, Giacomo. Where *did* all those probes come from? -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
Don't think of it as `gun control', think of it as `victim disarmament'. If we make enough laws, we can all be criminals. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
