Bug Description

The interface config page (the one on which you actually set the config options) could very usefully show a lot more information about the interface, gathered from lldp, ethtool and ifconfig type output. This would auto-update every 30 seconds, or when a config change is detected.

For example:

enp10s0 network interface configuration

ma:ca:dd:re:ss:00 Ports: [ TP ]
Intel 82574 Gigabit (1G) Pause frame: On/Off/Unable
                                            Auto-negotiation: On/Off/Unable
Link detected RX 12619 Errors 0 (17.0 MB)
1000Mb/s full duplex, mtu 1500 TX 7079 Errors 0 (624.2 KB)

IPv4 configuration - currently 192.168.65.22 /24 via 192.168.65.1

  ( ) Use a static IPv4 address
  (*) Use DHCP
  ( ) Do not use IPv4

IPv6 configuration - currently fe80::ec4:...

  ( ) Use a static IPv6 address
  ( ) Use DHCPv6
  (*) Auto-assign based on MAC address
  ( ) Do not use IPv6

I think the layout of the information at the top is best described further in a Google doc where colours/brightnesses can be demonstrated.
