So, there are some fun things in the network front end.
For reference:

What I'd like to discuss is how the activate / deactivate is going to work.
There are a few options:
1. Do nothing until apply in the main window
2. Call network-conf --activate eth0 without applying changes
3. Call network-conf --activate eth0, applying all changes first
4. Prompt the user, requiring that all changes get applied before activating the interface
I am not sure what the right thing to do is yet. I am leaning towards 4, though.
I probably would like to also have something similar for dhcp/bootp configuration, to pump the interface.
Thoughts?
