edit: with current revisions, this is now 8.3.1, also, to clarify the 'no field
for connection name' comment, this is called simply 'Name:' in the identity
menu of the connection dialogue

Hello

I made some updates for Fedora 21 but another review would be a good idea.

2.2.5. Configuring a Wired (Ethernet) Connection

Hello

Checking Fedora 23.

Saving Your New (or Modified) Connection and Making Further Configurations

If you use nm-connection-editor, the text is correct (in the section
mentioned), but if you use the GNOME tool, the names are on the left and change
as follows:

s/802.1X Security tab/Security view/
s/IPv4 Settings tab/IPv4 view/
s/IPv6 Settings tab/IPv6 view/

In both cases I see the GUI has 802.1x where it should be 802.1X

If you use nm-connection-editor you will see privacy extensions option for
IPv6.

MATE desktop uses the nm-connection-editor GUI.

Its hard describing GNOME 3 GUI things

I see I already updated the wording in the Wi-Fi section
e.g.:

Then, to configure:

click Security and proceed

click IPv4 and proceed

-----

Easy option is to just make Wired the same, to describe only GNOME 3. Other
option, is to make the descriptions mere generic, when times allows.
