Hello,

I have released a new version of the hardware probe tool — HW Probe 1.0, that supports Gentoo and some other popular Linux distributions. The "probe" is a snapshot of the hardware state including a list of devices on board and system logs. The primary purpose of the tool is to share the probe of the computer with developers or other users for the collaborative debugging of hardware problems on it.

All probes are uploaded to the central database at http://linux-hardware.org/ that holds probed information in a structured form. You can find, for example, in which computer models is presented some device, what driver was used and how it was configured. You can check for failures in logs related to a problem device and so on.

The source code of the tool is available here: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe

Thank you.
