<pre wrap="">run the hardware database collection tool from your device manager ;)

I have a bunch of odd wifi cards - if it reports the card info, I'll
cycle through them to build up the database of supported cards.

lshal (including additionally to the standard hal: all data from your

your xorg.conf
the current Xorg.logfile

Sorry to say ogra, but I feel you simply *can not* send off information
without telling the user *exactly* what it is you're sending off,
offering to *show* what is being sent, *then* send it.<br>
<br>
This due to trust/privacy concerns.<br>
We here all know you wouldn't send off the firefox passwords file, but
it is quite possible and quite easy. :)<br>
