Thanks for the patch. However, I'm not quite sure this is the right fix. The "Hardware Drivers" program doesn't actually display all recognised hardware, only hardware which requires proprietary drivers. So the program doesn't display all hardware which is recognised by the system, and we would be misleading users to imply that if a particular device isn't listed there, then that means that it isn't recognised by the system.

Probably we should suggest that the user opens "System -> Administration -> Network" to determine whether the device has been properly recognised by the system.

What do you think?
