What is the alternate command for "kudzu" in RHEL6?

I used "kudzu" command in RHEL5 for scanning new devices connected to the server. But i am getting "command not found" error when I try the same in RHEL6.

What is the alternative command for scanning new devices connected to the server in RHEL6. Pls help.

Thanks in advance.

You should no longer need to run any command to detect new devices; they should be detected and configured automatically when you connect them. If you have a device that isn't, then you should investigate that specifically.

You should not need kudzu in RHEL6 or its derivatives.

For configuring network adapters, I'd look at the command system-config-network. If you can't find the device, take a look at less /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.

All new devices should be logged in less /var/log/dmesg when connected. Other options include lspci and lsusb.
