BSDstats Project: Our ultimate goal ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

First off, thanks to *everyone* on this list ... those that have provided 
suggestions on both what should be included, as well as some of the coding 
that has been used (my shell scripting isn't as strong as my perl / php 
*sigh*) ... but, without people actually willing to *run* the script and 
report the information in, there would be no project ...

Although the site itself is *very* rough looking (my 4 year old daughter 
is more creative then I), I *just* put in place my personal goal for all 
of this ... what drivers are in use, and what vendors/chipsets ...

Check out:

 		http://bsdstats.hub.org/drivers.php

The header line is a bit mis-leading, as it says 'Systems' ... its not 
Systems, but # of times that driver has been used across all the systems 
... for instance, from one of my systems:

# select * from devices where id = 1;
  id | driver  | vendor | device |        report_month

(9 rows)

the pcib driver is used twice, as is the atapci driver ... again, wording 
could be improved ... so the count is # of devices using that driver ...

The information used to generate drivers.php is the same as used by 
pciconf -v, namely from:

Does anyone know how often that list get updated, by chance?
