Personally I agree this would be good, but I'd hate to see this being
distribution-specific. Why do we need this to be distribution specific?
Really, all it takes is a dialog like this
Select adapters to manually configure
| Manually
Network Adapters | Configured
-------------------------------------------------------+--------
Wireless Adapter (Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b) | [X]
Wired Adapter (82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller) | [ ]
[Configure Adapter] [Close]
I don't see this being a lot of work, at least not from an UI point of
view.
Cheers,
David
