SUMMARY
I wasn't able to find network hardware info from kinfocenter. If I wanted to find this info, its in `hwinfo -c network` under the `product:` key. Currently the Network Interfaces only shows the logical network information.

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2025-05-27 23:13:22 UTC
Should probably be on the main page.
Comment 2 Antti Savolainen 2025-05-27 23:39:29 UTC
There can be more than 1 network chip so I don't think that's appropriate.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-05-28 00:08:21 UTC
On that page we show multiple GPUs if there's more than one; same principle.
Comment 4 Harald Sitter 2025-05-28 11:38:15 UTC
I have an ever increasing worry that we are overloading the main page with way too niche information.
Comment 5 Antti Savolainen 2025-06-05 21:34:51 UTC
I agree with that notion. Do not overcrowd the main page.
