Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
See attached.
Currently in Dapper, n-m displays the name of the Ethernet cards in the
main window, which is convenient... and just makes sense.
However I noticed in Edgy that the GUI has been reworked, and (among
other things) now the wired interfaces are anonymous, so it's not very
practical to know which is which ! ;-)
As a temporary workaround, one can click on the "Properties" button, and
look at the window border title, as it does mention the device name.
I tried downgrading the gnome-system-tools package to the Dapper
version, but, although it installs fine, when I try to start n-m, it
complains that I trype the wrong password, go figure...
