Exactly. What kernel does is OK, and should not be changed. I meant
the other thing: user can rename NM connections (not interfaces, and I
don't want to rename interfaces!) in the dialog box on the screenshot
I attached above. What I ask is just putting "Wired Connection 1"
instead of "Auto eth0" b
How about making the connection name of auto eth0 by default Wired Connection
1, and eth1 Wired Connection 2, and so on?
same could be done if we have multiple wireless adapters.

It is fixed in the notification bubbles, which is what this bug was
reported about.
The window you have shown is designed to present multiple wired
interfaces, if there are any. Unfortunately, as far as I know, the names
like "eth0", "eth1", "eth2" etc are the only unique identifiers we have
for t
Are you sure the fix is released?
How about this screenshot from Ubuntu-9.10 rc?

Here is a list of what I think would work well and create a consistent,
easily-understood interface.
Wired connection (default settings):
Wired network
Connected
Wired connection ("Show Wired Connection Names in Notices" enabled):
Wired network
Connected to [connection name]
Wireless connection:
How about the title of the notification is [Wired|Wireless] Network
Connected and the body has Via [Hardware name] (eth0)

I think using the name of the hardware can be even more confusing, at
least for non-technical people.
The recommendation of not using numbers when there is only one
connection is also a valid point.

Should it use the name of the hardware? I think NetworkManager does that
already for some usb controllers.
For network controllers on the PCI bus, the connection could be named
from the output of the command:
$ lspci | grep Ethernet | cut -d':' -f3

I think most people use just one connection, so the default name
shouldn't include a number. It's confusing since it leads too easily to
look for another connections.

We should move this to a later milestone ( 8-10 ) as the expectation is
that this will be fixed by upstream and picked up by us later in the
Karmic cycle.
Also, please note that this is related to bug #386407, that I recently
entered about "Auto" being used as a prefix all over the place.

Current suggestion of user experience team is to name those
