This is a project to estimate status of hardware support (PCI only) in latest versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD systems with the help of lists of supported device IDs taking into account popularity of devices.
We determine support status by the following formula:
Status = (S1*T1 + S2*T2 + ... + Sn*Tn) / (T1 + T2 + ... + Tn)
Sn - support status of the device (1 - supported, 0 - not supported)
Tn - total number of device samples
Everyone can contribute to this report by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool:
hw-probe -all -upload
Devices - total devices, FreeBSD - supported in FreeBSD, OpenBSD - supported in OpenBSD, NetBSD - supported in NetBSD.
