On my FC4 box I can use the "hwbrowser" program to browse the hardware,
see what it is, but it cannot configure anything.  And as far as I can
recall when setting up FC5 for someone else, it's the same package name
(yum install hwbrowser).

Tip:  Can't remember the complete name of something, but remember part
of it?  Use something like "yum search browse" to try and find it.
