I think this is a great idea. It can be a complete pain in the a** trying to figure out what brand your NIC card is after you reinstall Windows and it doesn't automatically get the driver for your card. Then, at that point you obviously cannot ask Google for help because you cannot get on the Internet without having a driver for you NIC card! Ugh, what a pain...
So, yes I believe having the NIC card feature added would be one of the best improvements that could be added.
Also the saving of information would be helpful as well. What easier way to upload system information to an IT help forum, than to save it to a text file and upload it in a post?
