As cb400f has just mentioned to me on IRC, I think listing NM settings in YaST is problematic. New users seem to think that they can configure NM in yast, and hence have to enter IE ESSID/WEP keys etc for wireless cards, which isn't really true at all :/
Hm, Apo just made one of my points for me.
Another thing, I believe should be adressed in a new and improved ui is the hostname and gateway stuff. I very often see people on IRC and in forums that have problems because they forget to enter DNS and/or gateway when they use static IP.
There's of course two reasons for this:
1) Users being foolish
2) These settings being a little bit "hidden", making them easy to "forget".
Solution - make it more dominant - or maybe show dns+gateway in the "summary" http://en.opensuse.org/Image:041007_networkcard_global_device.png
In fact there are another two tabs: Hostname/DNS and route not shown on screenshot. Martin, we should update that screenshots to show "real" status. If needed I'll help you with that M. -- Best Regards, Michal Zugec Software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: mzugec@suse.cz Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 296 542 374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-usability+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-usability+help@opensuse.org
