Bug Description

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

Some drivers like the ipw3945 are free but require a non-free blob to work. Since this could create some confusion, r-m should show the rationale for each driver in a separate text box.

restricted-manager (0.31) gutsy; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * RestrictedManager/{RestrictedManagerGtk.py,manager.glade}: Show the
    rationale for a driver as a tooltip. (LP: #134019)
  * RestrictedManager/core.py: Add DefaultHandler.is_hw_available(): This can
    be implemented if a handler has an additional way of detecting the
    presence of hardware and modalias matching is not sufficient. Add proper
    support for it to connected_hardware().
  * Add RestrictedManager/handlers/sl_modem.py: Handler for software modems
    supported by sl-modem-daemon. (LP: #125015)
  * Replaced icons by the excellently looking ones from Lapo Calamandrei.
    These are now GPLed and available as SVG (whereas the previous ones were
    CC-BY-SA, stolen from another project, and only available as bitmap).
    (LP: #140557)

  [ Matteo Zandi ]
  * RestrictedManager/RestrictedManagerGtk.py: Fix function name for firmware
    check. (LP: #130789)
  * RestrictedManager/RestrictedManagerGtk.py: Make "Browse" button of
    firmware dialog work instead of causing the app to hang. (LP: #135000)
