ABOUT

dsbdriverd is a daemon that automatically tries to find and load the suitable driver for your PCI and USB hardware. On startup dsbdriverd scans the PCI and US(B) bus for all connected devices and looks up their driver in a database and linker.hints files using information provided by the hardware. The same applies to USB devices attached to the system later at runtime.
