Things are progressing great.

1) the filtering is case sensitive. "ricoh" doesn't give any result. "Ricoh" 
does.

2) I believe that you can use a tree selector in the left side of the window, 
containing make/model, but put a database-like form in the right side, with 
the other details and with a listbox containing all drivers.

3) the dialog crashes sometimes when hitting back and sometimes when hitting 
cancel in the second page. I didn't get the backtrace yet.

4) if no result is yelded by the search, a fake entry in the tree should be 
added, stating "nothign found" or such.

5) a statusbar in the dialog should give feedback on the progression of the 
connection between the time the second page of the wizard is open and the 
first results are displayed. Alternatively/concurently, you could add entries 
to the tree progressively, as soon as they get parsed, not waiting for all to 
be parsed.

Thanks for the great work!
