Gosh, yet another reason to kill kudzu/firstboot on sight.
Let's not annoy users with this ok ?
Enough people will submit this info willingly if the tool is well made
you don't need to force-feed it to users. Last I've seen the pci db
maintains itself well enough without any of this crap.
Put big notices on bugzilla startup pages, default index.html, etc if
you want but do not resort to any M$-like "were do we want you to go
today" automated junkware.
There should be a page saying "I couldn't configure yours"
(perhaps with a single Ok button). Just put at the other corner,
an small button reading "Report ..."...
