Hi Allison:<br>
<br>
Something I'd like to see is Jockey learning what's available in LBM
that can help your hardware improve. I'll use a real-world
example. A user has some brand new sandy bridge ethernet hardware
on their motherboard. They install Maverick and have support for
their hardware in the Maverick kernel from some backported patches.
There happens to also be support however in LBM for a full backport
from 2.6.36 for that ethernet driver.<br>
<br>
In a scenario like this I think it would make sense for Jockey to
offer on a 2nd or 3rd boot offer some information about the LBM
driver and why it might be beneficial.<br>

<pre wrap="">The Hardware Compatibility track is about supporting the widest possible
selection of hardware, in an easy-to-use fashion (GUI tools, avoiding
manual configuration, etc), with sane default settings.
What's high on your list for this area?
