Description Alexander Wilms 2025-11-23 18:06:04 UTC 
SUMMARY
If one doesn't have that much experience with network administration, it would be helpful if all inputs in the KCM had a tooltip.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. View connection in KCM
2. Wonder what the purpose of some settings is

OBSERVED RESULT
Some inputs do not have a tooltip:
* General:
    * Automatically connect to VPN
    * Firewall zone
* Wi-Fi:
    * SSID
    * Mode
    * Restrict to device
    * Cloned MAC address
    * MTU
* IPv4
    * Method tooltip could be clearer and dropdown could mention DHCP
* IPv6:
    * Same as IPv4

EXPECTED RESULT
All inputs have a tooltip with a short explanation
