Actually it means: [Add] to add a new configuration [Edit] to change an existing configuration [Delete] to remove an existing configuration ... What about using: [Add] [Change] [Remove]
I fear that regardless which single words we use, it doesn't make obvious that the configuration is meant and not the hardware. I even think that "Edit" is more clear because one cannot "Edit" hardware but one could "Change" hardware. Perhaps I found the actual reason: On http://en.opensuse.org/Image:041007_networkcard_global_device.png the tab is named "Devices" which means the actual hardware but the buttons are named [Edit] and [Delete] which is nonsense for "Devices". Perhaps if the tab was named "Device settings" ist would be clearer. But then we may have to add "settings" everywhere which looks bloated.
What exactly should "Disable" mean for a network card? Keep the hardware driver loaded but shut down the network interface or what?
As far as I remember the plan is to show disabled network cards in the list until the network card (hardware piece) is removed.
You mean your above [Remove] button removes the hardware piece? ;-) I still do not understand what exactly a "disabled" network card means (but I understand what a deleted/removed network card configuration means).
Most openSUSE users (70%) are experienced users with technical skills
When 30% of the useres are unexperienced it means Hundreds of Thousands unexperienced users. In general: When you do each piece so that it fits only for most users, you get a terrible small intersection of all the pieces which still fit for all users. E.g.: 10 pieces which are o.k for 90% of the users result that all pieces are o.k. only for 0.9^10 = 34.87% of the users and 10 pieces which are o.k for only 70% of the users result that all pieces are o.k. for less than 3% of the users. The underlying fact is that the intersection of all sets is the empty set.
