Linux Autodetector: Automatically Detect and Configure Hardware Devices

Autodetector is a feature in the Linux kernel that allows the system to automatically detect and configure hardware devices without manual intervention. It uses a combination of device probing, driver matching, and configuration files to identify and set up hardware devices.

When a new hardware device is attached to the system, the autodetector will probe the device to determine its type and capabilities. Based on this information, the autodetector will then search for a driver that matches the device's capabilities and install it if necessary. Finally, the autodetector will configure the device using the driver's configuration file.

Autodetector is useful for automatically configuring hardware devices without requiring manual intervention from the user or system administrator. It can also help to ensure that devices are properly configured and functioning correctly, which can improve overall system stability and performance.
