In the h-node project, what have a really good intention, in the 
hardware we see the big restriction. The cards. But we know, cards don't 
word. It is a carrier. Only the chips work. And for this, we need the 
internal description on register level to operate with them.

Therefore, if we don't have the source of the drivers, because that are 
binary files, we don't know, how this software act. And it can do many 
things, because mostly it work with root/admin permission.

Therefore, we have to use the chip-family or single family members and 
link that to the cards, what exist, if necessary. The same is with 
systems like laptop/desktop/pads and tabs.

Based on specific chips, we can create a link-net between 
chip/cards/systems in both direction. Then the user or interested people 
can check.

many greetings, willi
