Description William Jon McCann 2011-03-29 01:15:43 UTC 
When a wireless device is missing firmware we should tell the user that instead of just displaying the device as "Unavailable".  This was recently fixed in the Shell but we didn't get the equivalent fix into the settings panel.

Jon, what hardware did you test this with? I couldn't get this to work on a iwlagn or zd1201 devices. Thanks.
