Yup, I'll be looking at this one; let's work to get this *really* fixed in Natty.
That said, I see a number of issues. While I agree it seems confusing to designate the connection as "Auto eth0", it really does have a reason to exist: it's an automatically added connection when NM is installed, that uses the eth0 interface to connect. This could easily be changed to something different, like "Default Wired Connection". Looking at the latest patch applied I'm a little against making changed to tooltips (or other places for that matter) to not display the connection that is being used. In some cases, a user could have different wired connections (such as how to deal with being at work or being at home), and thus removing the connection's name would cause confusion. Ideally you want to make sure what is written in a tooltip or notification matches the options available in the nm-applet dropdown where you choose the connection. -- "Auto eth0" in notifications is confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
