[Bug 72325] NEC dvd-writer ND2500 cannot burn anymore

[Pepijn van de Geer]

Public bug reported:

Somehow my dvd-burner is no longer correctly identified. this may have
happend after the upgrade to edgy, though i'm not sure. I think the hal
device information is incorrect. Nautilus keeps asking for an empty cd.
The burner used to work and still works under that other OS.

Additional info:

pip at Thor:~$ /usr/lib/nautilus-cd-burner/list_cddrives
