Description: Collection of tools for low-level hardware management
This package is a collection of tools useful for hardware
troubleshooting and optimization (for ix86 machines):
.
irqtune: adjusts priority of interrupts (improves serial performance),
scanport: scans for hardware not already handled by Linux drivers,
memmxtest: a real mode memory test, with MMX support. You may want
to look at package memtest86 as well.
.
Be aware that these tools require some knowledge of what are they
doing to be used properly, not causing damage to your system.
.
Some programs that were previously part of this package have been
moved to their own packages (hdparm, scsitools, memtest86)
