GUI thoughts: confusing menu with multiple wifi cards

[Richard Neill <rn214 cam ac uk>]

Dear All,

I've used NM a bit with a machine which has multiple network cards, and 
I thought I'd attach the following screenshot. I think that the layout 
is rather confusing, and perhaps could be improved.

I think it's confusing because the horizontal rules appear to take 
visual precedence over the slightly less-indented headings. Thus it 
seems to be divided into 5 sections:



1. Wired Network,Disconnected, Wireless Networks (IntelPro), Mobile, 
Disconnect

<hr>

2. Mobile-Eapsim, Wireless Networks (Intersil), disconnected.

<hr>

3. Mobile, Mobile EAPSIM

<hr>

4. VPN connections

<hr>

5. Connect to Hidden, Connect to New


If there is only one WiFi card, it's far less confusing. However the 
screenshot attached could, imho, be much improved by a better layout.


Best wishes,

Richard


P.S. I seem not to be thinking very clearly - I was going to add this 
comment as a post-script to my previous message; it then occurred to me 
that it would be clearer in a separate thread, but added the 
(irrelevant) attachment to the last message too - sorry for the confusion!
