Description of problem: Trying classical DVD x86_64 on my recent UEFI ASUS laptop. Get to config within install after copying in the files. The Network and Internet section fails to show eth0 at all; just an abnormal big slab of white space where it's been forever, before the only 2 options in this section of 'Network - wifi' and 'Proxies - not configured' This wasn't missing in the betas. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Whiteboard: (none) => Mgeia4-final
Whiteboard: Mgeia4-final => Mageia4-final
Are you sure it hasn't just be renamed to something else? In mageia4, on BIOS providing the needed information, the interface is renamed. (see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:NetworkDeviceNameChange) Can you also attach a screenshot?

Created attachment 4879 [details] Screen shot showing the space Thierry, I can confirm there is a mysterious blank space under the heading but before the first entry (circled in red). Maybe I'm seeing things tho'. It's not *that* big IMO. I did have a quick chat about this on the qa-discuss list, but I'm not sure what else should be displayed here anyway...
There's no "mysterious blank space". Spacing is the same below every header...

Created attachment 4884 [details] eth0 is really there
There _is_ a blank space on my machine; see first pic. This is where eth0 (actually enp5s0 now) normally appears, to allow configuration during install. The other pic shows the installed system can see and configure it later. This pic was from M4 beta2 fully updated to current. I don't recall if it could be seen initially on rebooting the newly installed system or whether it appeared later after some updates. There seems to be a fault here if networking hardware is not seen and configurable during install.
Is it perhaps just showing the first interface it finds? I don't think there is any actual change from before. I mean I don't think it lists out all the interfaces it finds - the code certainly doesn't look like it. Thierry, any ideas? Could this just byproduct of using udev these days rather than manual probing? I do feel like there is more space on this one than the others tho', but wouldn't worry about that specifically.
There never were more than these two options under "Network & Internet". And there's no link between Installer summary & post-install Network Center. The network connections is shown after "Network". If you'd configured "ethX", it would display "ethernet". If you'd configured "wifi", it would display "wifi".
