Bug Description

Feisty 20070215 System, Control Center, Hardware, Hardware Information selection is gone. It was there on 20070213 but disappeared on 2007214 and is still gone with 20070215.

Seems to me it disappeared about the time the "Hardware Database" request at boot was changed to say to go to Applications, System Tools to return info on the hardware configuration. That new entry is there and seems to work.

We use 5 pc's on our home network which are modified from time to time and do appreciate having the Hardware Information selection, so I'd like to request that it be put back.

Cheers, Jerry

On 20070217 the Hardware information selection is back again. I use this data.

The Ubuntu Device Database selection is at the bottom if anyone wants to use it; there wasn't a pop-up request for this data after boot up anyway.

There's a related bug #83324 so I hope to keep my eye on the Control Center, Hardware Information selection in case it is affected by fixes for #83324.

Thanks, Jerry
