Though, as I'm sure Robert will agree, that's not really good enough.
The thing that you choose your connection from should provide adequate
information, itself.  It's a pain having to refer to another tool to
figure out what you should use.  It'll also be a nuisance to have to
correlate your findings to which entry they refer to in the list that
Network Manager presents for you to choose from.
