Description of the change

I checked Pete's pdf file and I've added one step to the procedure.

I've added a brief warning to cover Pete's point about the Device URI. To my eyes it reads a bit strangely since if the user followed the procedure the Device URI will be correct. However, at least the warning is brief. I've placed the warning immediately after the procedure because it only applies to that procedure (not to the second procedure).

The terminology is "choose a driver", taken from the GUI (see Pete's screenshots).

If these changes are ok and you put the page up in your webspace (as before), I'll update the bug report (as before).
