The consensus seems to be that putting this in HAL is too high up in the
stack, and that using a udev rules is best.

Okay, lets do keyfuzz. Lennart, can you add a msi udev rule into svn for
keyfuzz and then I'll do the same for ibm, lenovo and toshiba. I can
then write up a page on how others can do the same.

For background, see:

I've packaged version 0.2 of keyfuzz as a RPM which I'll submit to
fedora bugzilla. It would be good if we can get the udev stuff in 0.3
and then start making noise about how to fix this for other models.

Richard.
