1.) Just collecting dmesg like NYCBug does, isn't enough, the dmesg
	must be commented.

2.) A Wiki is IMO not the best form to collect data, it is to
	unorganized.=20

3.) A categorized list is imo the best way. The list can be maintained
	as database, as described in [1].
	A hardware list is a perfect example for object-relational modelling,=20
