I disagree here.  We should always collect and present as much 
information about a device as possible, even if they're not yet 
supported by software.  The only thing more aggravating than attaching a 
piece of hardware and having it not work is attaching a piece of 
hardware that is identified as "Unknown device" and having it not work.

Thanks,
Joe
