Gentoo doesn't have anything like this as standard, but I guess there may be some tools out there. Generally, gentooists go through the configuration manually - it usually isnt too long winded.

Re: [gentoo-user] New to Gentoo - general questions
Daniel, I think you are wrong here. The new genkernel by default configures the kernel with almost everything as a module, so you have both options: 1. Manually compile the kernel, choose the drivers you need, and edit /etc/modules.autoload 2. Compile the kernel using genkernel (and the default configuration it provides), emerge hotplug, and rc-update add hotplug default In the first case you will have an optimized kernel only working for your machine and your current hardware. In the second case, you'll have a kernel that takes a lot to build but than can autoconfigure when detecting new hardware. So, again Gentoo is all about choices :o) Regards Jose Daniel Drake escribió: Grendel wrote: On Mon, 9 Feb 2004, Mike Williams commented thusly, - Is there some distribution-specific scripts/apps to handle addition and removal of hardware (scanner, printer...)?
