Bug Description
It is difficult to know which interface is which on the network config page. The page which shows all interfaces should show which interfaces have a link detected, and which do not. This should be dynamic and also should be in a muted colour, as the mac address and manufacturer details are. For example:
enp10s0 > IPv4...
connected IPv6...
enp2s0f0 > IPv4...
etc

It does display a message for a wired interface that is not connected, but does not say anything when an interface is connected. It also does it in a way that is "jumpy" per bug 1750114. It probably makes sense to fix the two bugs at the same time.
