Other Idea:

Generate a text with information about the network interfaces and below
the text in the same screen the choices.

So something like a multiple choice exam form.

Example:


   Detected network interfaces

   eth0:
     Vendor: somecom
     Model: tgv
     MAC: 53:4F:4D:09:0B:23
     Link: up

   eth1:
     Vendor: somecom
     Model: tgv
     MAC: 53:4F:4D:09:0B:24
     Link: up


   Choose interface:

     [ ] eth0

     [ ] eth1



 [back]             [continue]
