[patch] default adhoc name

[Robert Love <rml novell com>]

Hi,

See attached screenshot.

The attached patch fills out the GtkEntry in the "Create New Network"
dialog box with the machine's hostname, by default.

It also adds some text explaining the default choices.

This way a user need only click a couple of times to create a new
network, and the values they need to read off to friends to connect are
right there in front of them.

OS X has similar behavior in that the default Adhoc name is the
machine's hostname.  I like.

May I apply?
