Device Database locks up at Network Test

[Matt MacLeod]

The Device Database Collection tool locks up trying to load the Network Test for
me. This happened on Hoary, and has continued to happen all the way through
Breezy. My network card uses the 8139too module. The command line output is:

sh: route: command not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hwdb-gui", line 122, in <lambda>
    self.advance.connect("clicked", lambda w: self.adv(self.xmlfile))
  File "/usr/bin/hwdb-gui", line 556, in adv
    self.test(set)
  File "/usr/bin/hwdb-gui", line 162, in test
    netdevice = self.getroute()[len(self.getroute())-1].strip()
  File "/usr/bin/hwdb-gui", line 207, in getroute
    return route
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'route' referenced before assignment

It seems that route is in /sbin. I ran the application with sudo. However, the
sound test did not work in that case (I assume my user's ESD has grabbed the
sound card?).
