Bug Description

Using Linux Mint 15, I have a DVB-TV device which I know it needs a restricted firmware to work. I open Drivers Manager to check if I can use it to install the missing firmware in a user-friendly way. Drivers Manager detects the available firmware in the 'linux-firmware-nonfree' package and shows the option, but shows it deactivated (unclickable) so I could not install the missing firmware with this tool, I had to install the mentioned package using apt (or any other package manager).
This firmware installation works well in Ubuntu 12.04 using Jockey.
I'll attach some screenshot of the problem.
