Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH] p2v: User can click on an interface name to identify the physical interface.

When the user clicks on the second column of the list of network

allowing it to be identified by the operator.
This has a nasty bit of hidden UI, basically because Gtk makes it near
impossible to put a regular button into a GtkTreeView.

Wouldn't it better than add a simple "Identify interface" next to the
list? IMHO would be more explicit, and avoid spawning ethtool commands
when not wanted.
