Bug Description

A surprising amount of weirdness is still enumerated by PNP. It appears that HEXR is not recording this information, ideally it probably should do.

  $ lspnp
  ...
  00:08 LEN0003 (unknown)
  00:09 IBM3780 PS/2 TrackPoint
  00:0a WACf004 (unknown)

LEN0003 is the ThinkPad Keyboard. 'WACf004' is the Wacom Tablet digitizer.

Since this project is about building up a database, it's probably advantageous to add the additional PNP enumeration collection as soon as possible.

(If the data is in the database, it can always be analysed later (or ignored). But if was never collected in the first place, it'll be much more work to go back and recollect it later.)

I've just added a new machine:

  https://hexr.canonical.com/machine/2141/2486/

The Synaptics touchpad is only enumerated via PNP:

  $ lspnp
  …
  00:07 PNP0303 IBM enhanced keyboard (101/102-key, PS/2 mouse support)
  00:08 SYN1e3c (unknown)

The longer that PNP information is not being collected, the more incomplete the database is getting.

  SYN1e3c == PS/2 connected Touchpad.

Two-line patch to 'hexr-upload.py' to record + send 'lspnp -vv':

If there's a bzr tree I can push this too, I'm more than happy to do so.
