Link to some detailled driver explanations

This should say: "Further information is available on the Ubuntu website, including a list of recommended vendors who publish their hardware with full specifications and free software drivers."

This should presumably link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeSoftwareDrivers for now.

This should link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedDrivers, which is a much better starting point.

Even better, this should call

  yelp ghelp:hardware#restricted-manager

This also works without network and is much easier than fiddling with a browser, too.

Fixed in http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/restricted-manager/trunk/revision/209 .

Steve, ok for you?

 ok, please upload.

restricted-manager (0.32) gutsy; urgency=low

  * RestrictedManager/{manager.glade,RestrictedManagerGtk.py}: Add a "Help"
    button and connect it to "yelp ghelp:hardware#restricted-manager", which
    provides a nice intro to restricted drivers. (LP: #134069)
  * bcm43xx.py, sl_modem.py: Uniformly name the variables for the driver
    package to "driver_package".
  * core.py: Add package_available() which uses apt-cache show to check
    whether a package is available for installation at all.
  * RestrictedManagerCommon.py, check mode: If the handler has a
    driver_package which is not available for installation, do not advertise
    it with a notification. (Gross Hacks R us, but it is good enough and
    unintrusive for Gutsy, and r-m is to be rewritten anyway in Hardy).
