Hello again,<br><br>What I'm trying to do is collect all the devices together which use the same linux.sysfs property (minus 2 characters from the end) in a bid to combine all the devices from the same pieces of hardware. this seems to work for anything plugged in but the motherboard it's self is a complete mess, I was hoping to get enough information from various devices to identify the motherboard but just combing the right devices into the same piece of hardware is troublesome without an already defined hardware specification of what I should expect to see.
<br><br>any ideas on how to identify if a device is a part of the motherboard?<br><br>Best Regards, Martin Owens<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/28/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Richard Hughes</b> <<a href="mailto:hughsient@gmail.com">
