I am neither a big fan of HAL because since it exists
I am usually fighting with its mess until it somehow
works for me because I always find insufficiencies.

For example newest stuff like
  int_outof="0xa1b2;0xc3d4;..."
doesn't work with HAL at least not on my
openSUSE 10.3 system.
Perhaps HAL works partially and it does the stuff
only for one first device which matches to the int_outof list.
I don't know - I don't want to know - I just experiment
until it works for me.

I think HAL is not yet a useful Hardware Abstraction Layer
but still an almost useless Hardware Additional Layer
in full compliance to RFC 1925:
"It is always possible to add another level of indirection."

And don't forget that "pigs fly just fine" ;-)
