            Bug ID: 9869
           Summary: Length limit of interface names precludes use of valid
                    interfaces
    Classification: Panel Plugins
           Product: Xfce4-netload-plugin
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: frivoal at xfce.org
          Reporter: bugzilla-accounts at pokeeffe.net
        QA Contact: goodies-dev at xfce.org

In the properties dialog of the Network Monitor plugin, the Network device
field has a 10-character limit. This makes it unusable with valid network
interfaces with names greater than 10 characters. Yes, long-named interfaces
exist: one example is the 'easytether0' interface created when tethering an
Android phone using EasyTether. 

This applies to xfce4-netload-plugin 1.1.0-1 which is the Latest Version
according to Synaptic Package Manager. (Not listed in choices so I left
'unspecified')
