Ooh, that looks nice. A few points:
- While I can see what the status icons are aiming for, the disconnected
icon looks like two ears to me. Also, having the same icon for physical
and virtual interfaces is a bit disconcerting - how can a virtual
interface be disconnected? I had a quick look but couldn't find a
comprehensive listing of what states each interface type can be in, but
maybe a third icon for "configured, but not working" is needed?
- Some of the devices have their Enabled checkbox disabled. Is that
because their state can't be changed because other devices depend on
them? Presumably this is shown in the Graph tab.
- The window Edit... opens is roughly the same as dladm {show,set}-prop?
