It seems this bugreport should be splitted in 2:
1. DHCP should be described as "Automatic Configuration (DHCP)" in
network-admin's interface properties dialog. This is really important, because
most users don't know what is DHCP, but they will understand, what is automatic
configuration :)
2. Setting DHCP to defauls.
I think network-admin should be more intelligent in this case - it should try
to detect DHCP server on the network when user tries to conigure network
connection and if it detects - then default should be DHCP, of course, but if
DHCP server isn't detected on the interface, then default should be static IP,
I think.
Maybe network-manager, which will be in Dapper as default will solve DHCP
default's problem?
** Also affects: Baltix
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
