Bug description:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/jockey-gtk

Jockey is a useful tool for locating hardware drivers not native to the kernel. It is part of the Ubuntu live cd (under the menu entry 'Hardware Drivers.' and detects any hardware drivers not installed automatically. It accesses proprietary drivers, but I am unsure if it locates kernel drivers as well.

It is very useful, however, for locating and installing drivers for certain hardware, such as nvidia and broadcom network cards, without having to compile them manually.
