Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install everything (all packages...)
2.Install all latest packages from errata
3.Run "neat" and try to configure ethernet.

	

Actual Results:  An exception until I debugged it and edited /boot/module-info.


Expected Results:  I expected to see the list of ethernet devices.

Additional info:

Better fix is modify the EthernetHardwareDruid.py to handle the
exception when there is no description for an ethernet device type.

third beta of erratum for 7.3/7.2/AS2 is available at:
ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network/1.0.3-1/

Most of the bugs reported have been removed, but as in every software change,
there could be new bugs introduced.

Please report bugs against this with explicitly stating the 1.0.3 version... Thx
and please test.
