Can you elaborate on the "invalid information" portion? I found the "ma" typo.

Open Device Manager (System ▸ Administration ▸ Device Manager) should read Open Device Manager (System ▸ Preferences ▸ Hardware Information).

Kow: Do you plan to fix the 'ma' typo yourself? It would make a good task for someones first patch.

The second part of this bug (incorrect menu entry for Device Manager) was fixed in revision 3608 (see bug 141491)

 Where is the source and how do I recompile it to a .deb? I am a MN computer builder who has a bug report containing over 20 seperate bugs and wishlists.

Trevor: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/ and in particular https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Repository for getting the source for the ubuntu-docs package, this is what you'll need to do to get your changes released (note that we typically don't update the released versions).

This patch fixes the spelling error. The information looked accurate to me, but the section on wireless network security could probably use some loving care.

Forgot to mention, that patch is against the Hardy docs.
