"very small minority" +1
I often go to clients and need to connect to the LAN. Some of them don't
have a DHCP server, so i must manualy configure the nic. The GUI feature
would be nice.
Tnks, and keep up the good work.

This is a (relatively) common use case for me. I often need to connect
my laptop to ad-hoc networks which do not have DHCP, hence I need to
configure a static address, and static routes. Currently I do this
through the command-line, but it would be nice to do it using the GUI.
I understand that I am in a very small minority here, but this would be
useful for people in a Field Engineer type role.
Thanks,
Keith.
