Bug Description

System - > Administration -> Hardware Drivers doesn't appear to be doing anything useful. I get a bunch of placeholder text in the interface. It may well be that there are no proprietary drivers in use, but the placeholder should not be there

Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10

screenshot attached.

What's the model of your card? I don't think it's supported by the available drivers (I can see it from the PCIid)

It's actually an intel card, now that I look. I think the real issue is the placeholder text in teh screenshot though.
