Bug Description
I'm currently testing 12.10 in virtualbox, and I've already discovered that jockey isn't part of the default system anymore. After a bunch of searching I realized that drivers are handled in "software sources", which is fine.
But there currently isn't a tag that links the term "drivers" to the software sources window when searching the Dash, and having to search for software sources specifically to install drivers is not intuative for new users. I don't know if there are future plans to mitigate this, but it's something that I imagine may cause headaches if unchecked.
Thanks for your time.
