When loading the gnome-netstatus panel applet, it does not list eth0 (which is
currently active) in the device drop down list.  I can type in the value "eth0"
and it then works.  However, it doesn't retain the entered text in the drop-down
list.  The eth0 device is an e1000

Attaching screenshot to demonstrate.  Please let me know what additional
information I can provide.

This is still a problem, even in rawhide.  We probably don't want to ship the
net status applet in future RHEL releases given that we have NetworkManager, though.

I was researching gnome-netstatus bugs and I believe this occurs because
gnome-netstatus does not yet have ipv6 support. It gets confused when it sees
the extra address, or something of the sort.

Another redhat bug on it, should it be marked a dupe of this one or the other
way around?

Per reporter we can close this bug.  Targeted as part of F9 cleanup project as
last activity was almost 2 years ago.
