Description Andreas Kleen 2005-09-16 08:19:07 UTC

e.g. when I select an ethernet interface in the DSL configuration  
I only get a list of MAC addresses, which is very unintuitive 
because hardly anyone can remember these long hex strings (or at least I 
can't) 
  
It would be better to show the product name (like IP network configuration)  
does and the pcibus/slot (to make it unique if there are multiple ones) + mac  
address.  
  
IP configuration also misses bus/slot.

Reassigning to the new maintainer of yast2-network.

Comment 2 Michal Zugec 2007-05-28 12:27:44 UTC

what about same dialog like exists in TestInternet (during installation)?

Comment 3 Andreas Kleen 2007-05-28 14:37:30 UTC

I don't think i've ever used that dialog (I always skip that test). I'll look
next time I reinstall some box. But if it has the information I outlined
above it is probably ok.

Comment 4 Michal Zugec 2007-05-28 14:58:32 UTC

There is:
device type, device name, IP address, device ID
I'm sure that this is enought and if not, we should use "one code" and improve both of them

Comment 5 Michal Zugec 2007-05-31 15:46:49 UTC

fixed in 2.15.38
