hal-devel-0.4.7-26.3 RPM for i586

From SuSE Linux 9.3 for i386 / suse / i586

HAL is a hardware abstraction layer and aims to provide a live list of
devices present in the system at any point in time. HAL tries to
understand both physical devices (such as PCI, USB) and the device
classes (such as input, net and block) physical devices have, and it
allows merging of information from so called device info files specific
to a device.

HAL provides a network API through D-BUS for querying devices and
notifying when things change. Finally, HAL provides some monitoring (in
an unintrusive way) of devices, presently ethernet link detection and
volume mounts are monitored.

This, and more, is all described in the HAL specification
