Description: hardware identification system
Discover is a hardware identification system based on the libdiscover1
library. Discover provides a flexible interface that programs can use to
report a wide range of information about the hardware that is installed on a
Linux system. It functions at boot-time by probing the available system
busses and loading the appropriate drivers based on data provided in the
discover1-data package.

report a wide range of information about the hardware that is installed on a
Linux system. In addition to reporting information, discover includes
support for doing hardware detection at boot time. Detection occurs in two
stages: The first stage, which runs from an initial ramdisk (initrd), loads
just the drivers needed to mount the root file system, and the second stage
loads the rest (ethernet cards, sound cards, etc.).
