Often times a driver from a specific linux-backport-
== TODO ==
This applies to Precise and Raring
* [rtg] to deal with modaliases in the control files
* [tseliot] Code to handle the logic when multiple driver versions are available
* [tseliot] Add an entry for the default drivers so that users can go back to the default drivers once they've tried lbm
* Recommend the default driver when multiple versions are available
* How do we notify users that new drivers are available and what updates do we show
* Input drivers : config files to pass module parameters
* Should we pop up a notification even when the driver already works? We don't want to break things that work
* Modify the description of the packages in the driver manager
* Consider backporting this work to quantal
