Public bug reported:
This "bug" occurs is in the release version of Feisty Fawn, where it
doesn't prompt a user when it cannot get a network connection (I assume,
since I did not have my cable plugged in) and just exits the dialog
where it asks if you want to enable the driver or not, but there is no
indication that a package needs to be downloaded and this may lead to
confusion.
This may or may not be an issue with the manager itself since I think it
launches Synaptic or grab the nvidia-glx (in my case) drivers from the
online repository.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Disable/unplug any network connections
2) Try and enable the Nvidia restricted drivers
p/s: I don't know which package the restricted driver manager falls
under ('restricted manager' returns no result in the package search).
** Affects: Ubuntu
