[Bug 386900] [NEW] "Auto eth0" in notifications is confusing

 

You have been assigned a bug task for a public bug by Vish (vish):

Hi,

When I first starting using Ubuntu (a couple of years ago) I really had
to look up what "eth0" was. And I still think this is really confusing
and potentially scaring for non-tech people.

"Connected to Auto eth0" or "Could not connect to Auto eth0" doesn't
really sounds that good?

Maybe changing Auto to Standard or Default? Maybe "Connected to wired
network (eth0)"?

There is surely a more elegant way for fixing this, but my English isn't
that good.

Thanks
