Exclamation lost where to post requested information

Moderators, I have a problem. Call me blind! I was trolling through postings looking at sticky's and came across a sticky asking all members to post their hardware to the HCL. I recalled I had already suggested that somewhere and off I went to fetch my hardware specs. Got my spec and went to find the sticky ... no luck even doing search, searched for HCL nothing, checked wiki cause it did say you could post there to HCL can't find a reference to it there either just ads.

So if you want my hardware stuff here's a copy of my former post

We create a forum category PLS post your hardware here
We put in a sticky that explains how to get your Linux distro hardware information to be posted.
You have some 34000 users of the forum I think I saw so If everyone posted their hw specs and work arrounds that would be a substancial start
ie: System = Toshiba Satellite L300D Laptop ... some issues
CPU = AMD dual core Athlon X2 ... Linux installs fine
Memory = 2GB
Harddrive = Hitachi SATA (two different models show in dmesg) 160GB
ATI Radeon works (gaming not tried)
3 USB hubs
Atheos Wireless Ath5k driver works ipv6 must be disabled
mc950d USB wireless stick works (issue eject /dev/sr0 to allow it to work)
Eth0 = Realtek works if wireless devices are disabled
Version = openSUSE 11.1 with gnome xfce & kde4 (problem accessing gnome and xfce )
CD/DVD = Sony DVD+/-RW works perfectly all modes
Webcam = Chicony built-in (recognized but does not turn on)
5-in1 card reader slot works perfectly
Epson Photo stylus 200 Print works without ipv6
CDPrint works on tray 2 without ivp6
Cuser micro 250MB USB stick works perfectly
Canon PIXMA ip2600 printer works perfectly without ipv6
Canon F1600 Scanner works all modes

cheers
