No, don't think this is correct.

I've been tracing this, and it appears that when we do the match against
smbios.system.manufacturer then the following properties are on computer
are as follows:

 device udi = /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer
  system.kernel.name = 'Linux'  (string)
  system.kernel.machine = 'i686'  (string)
  info.bus = 'unknown'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'unknown'  (string)
  info.product = 'Computer'  (string)
  system.kernel.version = '2.6.21-1.3194.fc7'  (string)

This leads me to think that we are not actually waiting for the dmi
prober to finish before we do the fdi scanning, and are thus not
matching.
