If we are planning to have linux-backports-modules in the future, not sure they
fall under third-party drivers.
Maybe we change name again then? ;-)
But as Mel C points the window UI can be improved on the whole. (Not
relevant to this bug though) :)

Additional Drivers is, at least for me, the best name (for end-users and

"Additional Drivers" sounds more appropriate than Downloaded Drivers,

I think the plan might be to move the documentation into the jockey
package itself (IIRC, it's kept in ubuntu-docs at the moment).
Have you had any user input on the name? Rather than going for what is

I have been thinking about it a bit before changing the strings, and Downloaded
Drivers is not a good wording neither. First time when the application is
started, no drivers are downloaded, just displayed as activatable, and when
activating one of them, a dialog appears with "Downloading drivers
Ok, then I'll change it to "Downloaded drivers" in jockey. The ubuntu-
docs update is a bit more complex, because just replacing the strings
won't do it. It also needs rephrasing according to the discussion.

Usually yes. There might be cases where you would get them from a
Windows install CD (b43-fwcutter), but those are marginal.

"Hardware drivers" is still inappropiate in my opinion, so we should find a
better wording for that too.

Oddly every mention of the drivers ,available via this utility, in Help
documentation refers only about proprietary drivers and how they cannot
be supported by Ubuntu developers. Even the topic is "Proprietary

Maybe the d
Jockey is not just for proprietary drivers. For example, it is also used
for searching printer drivers on openprinting.org, and we also had cases
where we considered using jockey to install linux-backports-modules. So
