Hi Martin,

* How exactly will the profiles work? I can see the usecase for when you switch between locations and don't want to enter the same things, but will a profile be compulsory to get things working?
In my opinion it will. Apple is successful with this concept, so why won`t we be? :-) It shares two adavantages: * people don`t need a lot of experience to get their tasks done * nonetheless, we give the user the possibility to configure this profile according to his needs as well
That's very true; thanks for explaining.
* I'm not sure that it's instantly clear in http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/f/f6/Nw_settings_devices.png that the 'Configure Network Card Device' button configures the currently-selected item (since there is other options and text in between it and the selection area).
It has worked fine until now and it is used in other modules (e.g. sound cards or printer). But, I agree with you, that doesn`t necessarily mean that it is the best way :-) I played around with some possibilities: * have the "Configure Network Card" under the list: this makes it difficult for the user to locate the button as it is somewhat hidden between the two boxes. * having the "Configure Network Card" separated from the info box might mislead the user that "configure profile" will give him access to edit the interface name or the activation of the network card.
If you have any other ideas or thoughts, just let me know :-)
Yeah, this one is tricky 8). I'll think about it a little more today.
On a more minor issue -- overuse of borders? There are dangers with it; hm, Jimmac had a nice link somewhere I believe.
Can anyone just pass it to me? Would be nice :-)
