Description Ryan 2013-07-10 05:46:39 UTC

Description of problem:

In section 7.3.1: 
Default connection no longer called 'em1'
No field for 'connection name'
you can add new settings for the network under different profiles by selecting 'add profile...'
you can remove/reset a profile by going to the 'options' button under the profile and selecting the 'reset' item on the left, and then choosing to either 'reset' or 'forget'

Comment 1 Ryan 2013-07-15 07:03:59 UTC

edit: with current revisions, this is now 8.3.1, also, to clarify the 'no field for connection name' comment, this is called simply 'Name:' in the identity menu of the connection dialogue

This is now here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Configuring_a_Wired_Ethernet_Connection.html

Under this heading:
Configuring the Connection Name, Auto-Connect Behavior, and Availability Settings

I have made some updates, will appear in the next build.

Thank you

Hello

I made some updates for Fedora 21 but another review would be a good idea.

2.2.5. Configuring a Wired (Ethernet) Connection

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html-single/Networking_Guide/index.html#sec-Configuring_a_Wired_Ethernet_Connection

Thank you

Hello

Checking Fedora 23.

Saving Your New (or Modified) Connection and Making Further Configurations

If you use nm-connection-editor, the text is correct (in the section mentioned), but if you use the GNOME tool, the names are on the left and change as follows:

s/802.1X Security tab/Security view/
s/IPv4 Settings tab/IPv4 view/
s/IPv6 Settings tab/IPv6 view/

In both cases I see the GUI has 802.1x where it should be 802.1X

If you use nm-connection-editor you will see privacy extensions option for IPv6.

MATE desktop uses the nm-connection-editor GUI.

Its hard describing GNOME 3 GUI things

Comment 5 Stephen Wadeley 2015-10-22 19:41:57 UTC

I see I already updated the wording in the Wi-Fi section
e.g.:

Then, to configure: 

click Security and proceed

click IPv4 and proceed

-----

Easy option is to just make Wired the same, to describe only GNOME 3. Other option, is to make the descriptions mere generic, when times allows.
