+      <div class="body"><p>Dr. <a href="http://www.stallman.org/">Richard Stallman</a>,
+founder of <a href="http://www.fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a>,
+is giving <a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/">a
+talk in Oslo March 1st 2013 17:00 to 19:00</a>.  The event is public
+and organised by <a href="">Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG)</a>
+(where I am the chair of the board) and
+<a href="http://www.friprog.no/">The Norwegian Open Source Competence
+Center</a>.  The title of the talk is «The Free Software Movement and
+GNU», with this description:
+
+<p><blockquote>
+The Free Software Movement campaigns for computer users' freedom to
+cooperate and control their own computing. The Free Software Movement
+developed the GNU operating system, typically used together with the
+kernel Linux, specifically to make these freedoms possible.
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>The meeting is open for everyone.  Due to space limitations, the
+doors opens for NUUG members at 16:15, and everyone else at 16:45.  I
+am really curious how many will show up.  See
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/">the event

+      <div class="date">22nd February 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>Etter en lang pause og travle uker har jeg endelig klart å få
+samlet et nytt intervju med en av folkene i
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>-miljøet.
+Denne gang er det Helge Tore Høyland, en mangeårig bidragsyter på
+epostlistene og ellers i prosjektet.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Eg er IT-konsulent/teknikker hjå eit firma i Steinkjer med navn
+<a href="http://unoit.no/">Uno IT</a>.  Uno IT er eit lite firma som
+drifter nettverk og maskiner for små og mellomstore firma
+Steinkjer-området. Per dags dato er me 2 ansatte. Min faglege bakgrunn
+er Fagbrev som it-teknikker, samt nokre fag innen nettverk- og
+server-drift frå HiST og NTNU. Dagleg arbeid består i oppsett av nye
+maskiner og hjelp til sluttbrukere, samt oppsett og vedlikehold av eit
+vidt spekter av fagsystemer ute hjå kunder. Erfaring med Skolelinux
+har eg hatt i forbindelse med drifting av
+<a href="http://www.bjorkly.no/">Bjørkly skule</a>, ein privat
+grunnskule i Namsos-området.  I dag har skulen 65 elever, 15 lærere, 1
+hovedserver og ca 60 klienter som kjører halvtjukt.  Eg har bygd og
+driftet systemet sidan summaren 2006.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Eg kom i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet via ein artikkel i eit
+fagblad, som eg ikkje lenger hugsar namnet på.  I og med at eg allereie
+hadde pusla med nettverk for ein annan skule, fatta eg straks
+interesse for prosjektet.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Fordelane med Skolelinux er sentralisert administrasjon og svært
+mange gode verktøy «ut av boksen». Veldig kjekt å kunne drifte 60
+klientar med berre å «bry» seg med ein server. Levetid for systemets
+hardware er og ein veldig fin effekt. I tillegg kjem fordelar som økt
+sikkerhet og mindre lisenskostnader. Etter min erfaring er det og
+mykje mindre driftskostnader med eit slikt system enn konkurrerande
+system, pga enkelhet med sentralisert administrasjon. På grunn av at
+Skolelinux er basert på Debian er det òg svært stabilt.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Ulemper er mangel på vilje til å følge standarer ute i markedet,
+som fører til mangel på støtte til nokre mykje brukte ting. Flash og
+Java er typiske eksempel. Sidan Debian satsar på stabilitet framfor å
+ha nyeste pakke av eit program, kan ein i nokre tilfeller kome borti
+at program vert «for gamle». Det er spesielt nettlesaren som er
+utsett. Mangel på vilje til å utvikle pedagogisk programvare, i Noreg,
+for «alle» platformer fører òg til noko hovudbry.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Til dagleg bruker eg svært mange forskjellige «fri programvare»
+program.  Firefox, Thunderbird, Freecommander, ImgBurn, Clonezilla,
+OCS inventory, Icinga, Skolelinux, SystemRescueCD og mykje meir.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
+skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Strategisk må ein fokusere på at sluttbruker eigentleg ikkje er så
+fokusert på at det er fri programvare men at det skal «berre fungere».
+Gjer det enkelt å bruker og ikkje minst å administrere. For Skolelinux
+sin del må ein få eit betre fokus på overganger. Utbytting av servere
+må gå meir automatisk, import og eksport av brukerbase og maskinbase
+med meir må kunne gå enkelt og oppgradering til neste versjon må bli
+mykje meir automatisk og gjennomtesta. Ein må unngå at ein må sette
+opp frå start når ein byter ut ein server eller oppgraderer til neste
+versjon. For å få Skolelinux til å bli eit betre alternativ for skular
+må ein ha fokus på nettlesaren. Denne må bli «up to date» og støtte
+dei protokollar og tillegg som vert brukt av forlag med meir.  Etter
+kvart som meir og meir blir flytta ut i «skya» vert dette viktigare og
+viktigare. Ein kunne ynskje og jobbe for at forlag med fleire tar i
+bruk opne standarer, men inntil det skjer, må systemet kunne brukast
+mot desse fagsystema.</p>
+
+<p>For meg har prosjektet med Skolelinux vore ein svært artig og
+lærerik prosess. Miljøet rundt er ikkje enormt stort, dog stort nok,
+men det er svært hjelpevillig og engasjert.</p>

+      <div class="date">12th February 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>Here in Norway, electronic invoices are spreading, and the
+<a href="http://www.anskaffelser.no/e-handel/faktura">solution promoted
+by the Norwegian government</a> require that invoices are sent through
+one of the approved facilitators, and it is not possible to send
+electronic invoices without an agreement with one of these
+facilitators.  This seem like a needless limitation to be able to
+transfer invoice information between buyers and sellers.  My preferred
+solution would be to just transfer the invoice information directly
+between seller and buyer, for example using SMTP, or some HTTP based
+protocol like REST or SOAP.  But this might also be overkill, as the
+"electronic" information can be transferred using paper invoices too,
+using a simple bar code.  My bar code encoding of choice would be QR
+codes, as this encoding can be read by any smart phone out there.  The
+content of the code could be anything, but I would go with
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard">the vCard format</a>, as
+it too is supported by a lot of computer equipment these days.</p>
+
+<p>The vCard format support extentions, and the invoice specific
+information can be included using such extentions.  For example an
+invoice from SLX Debian Labs (picked because we
+<a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">ask
+for donations to the Debian Edu project</a> and thus have bank account
+information publicly available) for NOK 1000.00 could have these extra
+fields:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+X-INVOICE-NUMBER:1
+X-INVOICE-AMOUNT:NOK1000.00
+X-INVOICE-KID:123412341234
+X-INVOICE-MSG:Donation to Debian Edu
+X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:16040884339
+X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
+X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>The X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER field was proposed in a stackoverflow
+answer regarding
+<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10045664/storing-bank-account-in-vcard-file">how
+to put bank account information into a vCard</a>.  For payments in
+Norway, either X-INVOICE-KID (payment ID) or X-INVOICE-MSG could be
+used to pass on information to the seller when paying the invoice.</p>
+
+<p>The complete vCard could look like this:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+BEGIN:VCARD
+VERSION:2.1
+ORG:SLX Debian Labs Foundation
+ADR;WORK:;;Gunnar Schjelderups vei 29D;OSLO;;0485;Norway

+X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
+END:VCARD
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>The resulting QR code created using
+<a href="http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/">qrencode</a> would look
+like this, and should be readable (and thus checkable) by any smart
+phone, or for example the <a href="http://zbar.sourceforge.net/">zbar
+bar code reader</a> and feed right into the approval and accounting
+system.</p>
+
+<p><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-02-12-qr-invoice.png"></p>
+
+<p>The extension fields will most likely not show up in any normal
+vCard reader, so those parts would have to go directly into a system
+handling invoices.  I am a bit unsure how vCards without name parts
+are handled, but a simple test indicate that this work just fine.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Update 2013-02-12 11:30</strong>: Added KID to the proposal
+based on feedback from Sturle Sunde.</p>

+
+<p>With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep
+during the night and wake up when it is morning.  I mean, when I
+believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier.  In our household we
+have decided that 07:00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to
+sleep until 07:00 is a small challenge every day.  They have adapted
+quite well, and rarely wake up at 05:00 any more, but some times wake
+up at times like 05:50, 06:15, 06:30 or 06:45, and it is hard to put
+the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest.
+And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until 07:00
+some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or
+after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.</p>
+
+<p>But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem.  It
+involve home automation.  A few years ago I bought a
+<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick">Tellstick</a> and RF
+switches at the local <a href="http://www.clasohlson.com/">Clas
+Ohlson</a> shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical
+gadgets using my Linux server.  When I moved from the old flat to a
+small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in
+the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to
+the gadgets I had.  But recently I bought a
+<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net">Tellstick
+Net</a> to be able to read sensor input as well as control power
+sockets.  I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes
+to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding.  The default
+setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service,
+which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build
+ones own
+<a href="http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware">firmware
+with local access</A> instead of being controlled by a Swedish
+company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source
+code.  I plan to get that running before I let it control anything
+important.  But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for
+the kids came to me yesterday.  We can set up a night light controlled
+by the computer, and turn it automatically on at 07:00.  The kids can
+then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to
+get up or not.  They joined me in setting everything up, and I
+repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they
+remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.</p>
+
+<p>We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until
+after 07:00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the
+"morning light" was turned on and signalled that the morning had
+arrived.  So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how
+this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us
+all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.</p>
+
+<p>A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when
+to tell the kids to get up.  We do not have to wait until 07:00, and
+can also delay it if we want to.</p>

-      <div class="date">21st January 2013</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>Early this month I set out to try to
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">improve
-the Debian support for pluggable hardware devices</a>.  Now my
-prototype is working, and it is ready for a larger audience.  To test
-it, fetch the
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">source
-from the Debian Edu subversion repository</a>, build and install the
-package.  You might have to log out and in again activate the
-autostart script.</p>
-
-<p>The design is simple:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>Add desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ causing a program
-hw-support-handlerd to start when the user log in.</li>
-
-<li>This program listen for kernel events about new hardware (directly
-from the kernel like udev does), not using HAL dbus events as I
-initially did.</li>
-
-<li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware modalias in
-the APT database, a database
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=markup">available
-via HTTP</a> and a database available as part of the package.</li>
-
-<li>If a package is mapped to the hardware in question, the package
-isn't installed yet and this is the first time the hardware was
-plugged in, show a desktop notification suggesting to install the
-package or packages.</li>
-
-<li>If the user click on the 'install package now' button, ask
-aptdaemon via the PackageKit API to install the requrired package.</li>
-
-<li>aptdaemon ask for root password or sudo password, and install the
-package while showing progress information in a window.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>I still need to come up with a better name for the system.  Here
-are some screen shots showing the prototype in action.  First the
-notification, then the password request, and finally the request to
-approve all the dependencies.  Sorry for the Norwegian Bokmål GUI.</p>

-
-<p>The prototype still need to be improved with longer timeouts, but
-is already useful.  The database of hardware to package mappings also
-need more work.  It is currently compatible with the Ubuntu way of
-storing such information in the package control file, but could be
-changed to use other formats instead or in addition to the current
-method.  I've dropped the use of discover for this mapping, as the
-modalias approach is more flexible and easier to use on Linux as long
-as the Linux kernel expose its modalias strings directly.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-21 16:50</strong>: Due to popular demand,
-here is the command required to check out and build the source: Use
-'<tt>svn checkout
-svn://svn.debian.org/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/; cd
-hw-support-handler; debuild</tt>'.  If you lack debuild, install the
-devscripts package.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-23 12:00</strong>: The project is now
-renamed to Isenkram and the source moved from the Debian Edu
-subversion repository to a Debian collab-maint git repository.  See
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Welcome_to_the_world__Isenkram_.html">build

-      <div class="body"><p>This Christmas my trusty old laptop died.  It died quietly and
-suddenly in bed.  With a quiet whimper, it went completely quiet and
-black.  The power button was no longer able to turn it on.  It was a
-IBM Thinkpad X41, and the best laptop I ever had.  Better than both
-Thinkpads X30, X31, X40, X60, X61 and X61S.  Far better than the
-Compaq I had before that.  Now I need to find a replacement.  To keep
-going during Christmas, I moved the one year old SSD disk to my old
-X40 where it fitted (only one I had left that could use it), but it is
-not a durable solution.
-
-<p>My laptop needs are fairly modest.  This is my wishlist from when I
-got a new one more than 10 years ago.  It still holds true.:)</p>
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>Lightweight (around 1 kg) and small volume (preferably smaller
-  than A4).</li>
-<li>Robust, it will be in my backpack every day.</li>
-<li>Three button mouse and a mouse pin instead of touch pad.</li>
-<li>Long battery life time.  Preferable a week.</li>
-<li>Internal WIFI network card.</li>
-<li>Internal Twisted Pair network card.</li>
-<li>Some USB slots (2-3 is plenty)</li>
-<li>Good keyboard - similar to the Thinkpad.</li>
-<li>Video resolution at least 1024x768, with size around 12" (A4 paper
-size).</li>
-<li>Hardware supported by Debian Stable, ie the default kernel and
-  X.org packages.</li>
-<li>Quiet, preferably fan free (or at least not using the fan most of
-  the time).
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>You will notice that there are no RAM and CPU requirements in the
-list.  The reason is simply that the specifications on laptops the
-last 10-15 years have been sufficient for my needs, and I have to look
-at other features to choose my laptop.  But are there still made as
-robust laptops as my X41?  The Thinkpad X60/X61 proved to be less
-robust, and Thinkpads seem to be heading in the wrong direction since
-Lenovo took over.  But I've been told that X220 and X1 Carbon might
-still be useful.</p>
-
-<p>Perhaps I should rethink my needs, and look for a pad with an
-external keyboard?  I'll have to check the
-<a href="http://www.linux-laptop.net/">Linux Laptops site</a> for
-well-supported laptops, or perhaps just buy one preinstalled from one
-of the vendors listed on the <a href="http://linuxpreloaded.com/">Linux
-Pre-loaded site</a>.</p>

-<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Plugins">specifications
-done by Ubuntu</a> and Mozilla, it is possible to do this in Debian.
-Unfortunately, not very many packages provide the needed meta
-information, Anyway, here is a small script to look up all browser
-plugin packages announcing ther MIME support using this specification:</p>
-
-<pre>
-#!/usr/bin/python
-import sys
-import apt
-def pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
-    cache = apt.Cache()
-    cache.open(None)
-    thepkgs = []
-    for pkg in cache:
-        version = pkg.candidate
-        if version is None:
-            version = pkg.installed
-        if version is None:
-            continue
-        record = version.record
-        if not record.has_key('Npp-MimeType'):
-            continue
-        mime_types = record['Npp-MimeType'].split(',')
-        for t in mime_types:
-            t = t.rstrip().strip()
-            if t == mimetype:
-                thepkgs.append(pkg.name)
-    return thepkgs
-mimetype = "audio/ogg"
-if 1 < len(sys.argv):
-    mimetype = sys.argv[1]
-print "Browser plugin packages supporting %s:" % mimetype
-for pkg in pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
-    print "  %s" %pkg
-</pre>
-
-<p>It can be used like this to look up a given MIME type:</p>
-
-<pre>
-% ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype 
-Browser plugin packages supporting audio/ogg:
-  gecko-mediaplayer
-% ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype application/x-shockwave-flash
-Browser plugin packages supporting application/x-shockwave-flash:
-  browser-plugin-gnash
-%
-</pre>
-
-<p>In Ubuntu this mechanism is combined with support in the browser
-itself to query for plugins and propose to install the needed
-packages.  It would be great if Debian supported such feature too.  Is
-anyone working on adding it?</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-18 14:20</strong>: The Debian BTS
-request for icweasel support for this feature is
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/484010">#484010</a> from 2008 (and
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/698426">#698426</a> from today).  Lack
-of manpower and wish for a different design is the reason thus feature
-is not yet in iceweasel from Debian.</p>

-
-<p>An entry like this would suggest the pcmciautils package when a
-CardBus bridge (bus class 0607) PCI device is present:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-Package: pcmciautils
-<br>Modaliases: pcmciautils(pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc06sc07i*)

-
-<p>An entry like this would suggest the package colorhug-client when
-plugging in a ColorHug with USB IDs 04D8:F8DA:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-Package: colorhug-client
-<br>Modaliases: colorhug-client(usb:v04D8pF8DAd*)</p>
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>I believe the format is compatible with the format of the Packages
-file in the Debian archive.  Ubuntu already uses their Packages file
-to store their mappings from packages to hardware.</p>
-
-<p>By adding a XB-Modaliases: header in debian/control, any .deb can
-announce the hardware it support in a way my prototype understand.
-This allow those publishing packages in an APT source outside the
-Debian archive as well as those backporting packages to make sure the
-hardware mapping are included in the package meta information.  I've
-tested such header in the pymissile package, and its modalias mapping
-is working as it should with my prototype.  It even made it to Ubuntu
-Raring.</p>
-
-<p>To test if it was possible to look up supported hardware using only
-the shell tools available in the Debian installer, I wrote a shell
-implementation of the lookup code.  The idea is to create files for
-each modalias and let the shell do the matching.  Please check out and
-try the
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/hw-support-lookup?view=co">hw-support-lookup</a>
-shell script.  It run without any extra dependencies and fetch the
-hardware mappings from the Debian archive and the subversion
-repository where I currently work on my prototype.</p>
-
-<p>When I use it on a machine with a yubikey inserted, it suggest to
-install yubikey-personalization:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-% ./hw-support-lookup
-<br>yubikey-personalization
-<br>%
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>When I run it on my Thinkpad X40 with a PCMCIA/CardBus slot, it
-propose to install the pcmciautils package:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-% ./hw-support-lookup 
-<br>pcmciautils
-<br>%
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>If you know of any hardware-package mapping that should be added to
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=co">my
-database</a>, please tell me about it.</p>
-
-<p>It could be possible to generate several of the mappings between
-packages and hardware.  One source would be to look at packages with
-kernel modules, ie packages with *.ko files in /lib/modules/, and
-extract their modalias information.  Another would be to look at
-packages with udev rules, ie packages with files in
-/lib/udev/rules.d/, and extract their vendor/model information to
-generate a modalias matching rule.  I have not tested any of these to
-see if it work.</p>
-
-<p>If you want to help implementing a system to let us propose what
-packages to install when new hardware is plugged into a Debian
-machine, please send me an email or talk to me on

-      <div class="date">14th January 2013</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>While looking into how to look up Debian packages based on hardware
-information, to find the packages that support a given piece of
-hardware, I refreshed my memory regarding modalias values, and decided
-to document the details.  Here are my findings so far, also available
-in
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">the
-Debian Edu subversion repository</a>:
-
-<p><strong>Modalias decoded</strong></p>
-
-<p>This document try to explain what the different types of modalias
-values stands for.  It is in part based on information from
-&lt;URL: <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modalias">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modalias</a> &gt;,
-&lt;URL: <a href="http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26132/how-to-assign-usb-driver-to-device">http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26132/how-to-assign-usb-driver-to-device</a> &gt;,

-
-<p>The modalias entries for a given Linux machine can be found using
-this shell script:</p>
-
-<pre>
-find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u
-</pre>
-
-<p>The supported modalias globs for a given kernel module can be found
-using modinfo:</p>
-
-<pre>
-% /sbin/modinfo psmouse | grep alias:
-alias:          serio:ty05pr*id*ex*
-alias:          serio:ty01pr*id*ex*
-%
-</pre>
-
-<p><strong>PCI subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>A typical PCI entry can look like this.  This is an Intel Host
-Bridge memory controller:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-pci:v00008086d00002770sv00001028sd000001ADbc06sc00i00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>This represent these values:</p>
-
-<pre>
- v   00008086  (vendor)
- d   00002770  (device)
- sv  00001028  (subvendor)
- sd  000001AD  (subdevice)
- bc  06        (bus class)
- sc  00        (bus subclass)
- i   00        (interface)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The vendor/device values are the same values outputted from 'lspci
--n' as 8086:2770.  The bus class/subclass is also shown by lspci as
-0600.  The 0600 class is a host bridge.  Other useful bus values are
-0300 (VGA compatible card) and 0200 (Ethernet controller).</p>
-
-<p>Not sure how to figure out the interface value, nor what it
-means.</p>
-
-<p><strong>USB subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>Some typical USB entries can look like this.  This is an internal
-USB hub in a laptop:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-usb:v1D6Bp0001d0206dc09dsc00dp00ic09isc00ip00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Here is the values included in this alias:</p>
-
-<pre>
- v    1D6B  (device vendor)
- p    0001  (device product)
- d    0206  (bcddevice)
- dc     09  (device class)
- dsc    00  (device subclass)
- dp     00  (device protocol)
- ic     09  (interface class)
- isc    00  (interface subclass)
- ip     00  (interface protocol)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The 0900 device class/subclass means hub.  Some times the relevant
-class is in the interface class section.  For a simple USB web camera,
-these alias entries show up:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc01ip00
-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc02ip00
-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc01ip00
-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc02ip00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Interface class 0E01 is video control, 0E02 is video streaming (aka
-camera), 0101 is audio control device and 0102 is audio streaming (aka
-microphone).  Thus this is a camera with microphone included.</p>
-
-<p><strong>ACPI subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>The ACPI type is used for several non-PCI/USB stuff.  This is an IR
-receiver in a Thinkpad X40:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-acpi:IBM0071:PNP0511:
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The values between the colons are IDs.</p>
-
-<p><strong>DMI subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>The DMI table contain lots of information about the computer case
-and model.  This is an entry for a IBM Thinkpad X40, fetched from
-/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-dmi:bvnIBM:bvr1UETB6WW(1.66):bd06/15/2005:svnIBM:pn2371H4G:pvrThinkPadX40:rvnIBM:rn2371H4G:rvrNotAvailable:cvnIBM:ct10:cvrNotAvailable:
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The values present are</p>
-
-<pre>
- bvn  IBM            (BIOS vendor)
- bvr  1UETB6WW(1.66) (BIOS version)
- bd   06/15/2005     (BIOS date)
- svn  IBM            (system vendor)
- pn   2371H4G        (product name)
- pvr  ThinkPadX40    (product version)
- rvn  IBM            (board vendor)
- rn   2371H4G        (board name)
- rvr  NotAvailable   (board version)
- cvn  IBM            (chassis vendor)
- ct   10             (chassis type)
- cvr  NotAvailable   (chassis version)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The chassis type 10 is Notebook.  Other interesting values can be
-found in the dmidecode source:</p>
-
-<pre>
-  3 Desktop
-  4 Low Profile Desktop
-  5 Pizza Box
-  6 Mini Tower
-  7 Tower
-  8 Portable
-  9 Laptop
- 10 Notebook
- 11 Hand Held
- 12 Docking Station
- 13 All In One
- 14 Sub Notebook
- 15 Space-saving
- 16 Lunch Box
- 17 Main Server Chassis
- 18 Expansion Chassis
- 19 Sub Chassis
- 20 Bus Expansion Chassis
- 21 Peripheral Chassis
- 22 RAID Chassis
- 23 Rack Mount Chassis
- 24 Sealed-case PC
- 25 Multi-system
- 26 CompactPCI
- 27 AdvancedTCA
- 28 Blade
- 29 Blade Enclosing
-</pre>
-
-<p>The chassis type values are not always accurately set in the DMI
-table.  For example my home server is a tower, but the DMI modalias
-claim it is a desktop.</p>
-
-<p><strong>SerIO subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>This type is used for PS/2 mouse plugs.  One example is from my
-test machine:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-serio:ty01pr00id00ex00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The values present are</p>
-
-<pre>
-  ty  01  (type)
-  pr  00  (prototype)
-  id  00  (id)
-  ex  00  (extra)
-</pre>
-
-<p>This type is supported by the psmouse driver.  I am not sure what
-the valid values are.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Other subtypes</strong></p>
-
-<p>There are heaps of other modalias subtypes according to
-file2alias.c.  There is the rest of the list from that source: amba,
-ap, bcma, ccw, css, eisa, hid, i2c, ieee1394, input, ipack, isapnp,
-mdio, of, parisc, pcmcia, platform, scsi, sdio, spi, ssb, vio, virtio,
-vmbus, x86cpu and zorro.  I did not spend time documenting all of
-these, as they do not seem relevant for my intended use with mapping
-hardware to packages when new stuff is inserted during run time.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Looking up kernel modules using modalias values</strong></p>
-
-<p>To check which kernel modules provide support for a given modalias,
-one can use the following shell script:</p>
-
-<pre>
-  for id in $(find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u); do \
-    echo "$id" ; \
-    /sbin/modprobe --show-depends "$id"|sed 's/^/  /' ; \
-  done
-</pre>
-
-<p>The output can look like this (only the first few entries as the
-list is very long on my test machine):</p>
-
-<pre>
-  acpi:ACPI0003:
-    insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.ko
