When the user clicks on the second column of the list of network interfaces, run 'ethtool --identify <if_name> 10', which (on supported cards) flashes a light on the physical interface for 10 seconds, 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. -- Pino Toscano
