Comment 9 for bug 243797

The current version for Intrepid uses lshw. The only reason we had Hardware Information was to keep away from the terminal. That said its removal prompted that we now use lshw. Of course there were substantial changes in that since the 7.10. The documentation in the current Intrepid branch is accurate for Hardy, so instead of patching how about using that?

Hardware Drivers is a different program all together, lets stick with lshw. The fact is that in its current state Wireless support is poor in general - the aim of the troubleshooting guide is to take out the majority of steps that people will ask in the forums when users ultimately request help there or through Launchpad's answers system.

This should be marked as "Fix Commited" because it has been for some time in the Intrepid trunk. There is little more we can do either until the late alpha stages because as has been confirmed in the previous release cycle, things are removed at the eleventh hour!

@Oliver, it also needs to be noted that if Network doesn't list your adapter that doesn't impy that NDIS is the next step, if the device is off, as is the case with many integrated Broadcom cards that remain switched off if disabled in Windows, enabling NDIS would not rectify the issue.
