Kudzu

I havent looked into it all that much but does anybody know how Kudzu works because i know its finds and configures stuff on my biege G3 that OS X wont support(ex. - PCI NIC cards). My wishlist for 10.4 is a ported linux pci driver library amongst other drivers. Does anybody know if there currently a darwin project that is working on this?

Umm, not quite sure what you're asking, but maybe Fink?

I havent checked fink( wow im retarded! ) but what im asking about is why doesnt OS X support all those lovely drivers that were ported/recompiled for YDL? Apple allows you to install the GIMP-PRINT drivers so i think it would make alot of sense for them to get those ported assorted drivers from YDL and try to incorporate them into darwin and have an interface through the pref panes to find new hardware or have a prompt at login that new hardware was detected, that would save the headache of having to buy Mac compatible PCI cards(USB cards, NIC cards, etc...)

Yeah, sorry. I'm afraid I don't know much about the open source drivers
