Some input from a lurker:

- You might want to try less indenting to provide more visual 
association with the Manual radiobox (it also looks better ;).
- Enable during startup could be placed on top, just under the missing 
"Enable Interface" checkbox ;)

On second thought, get rid of 'Enable during startup' in favor of 
'Enable Interface'. Think about it: if 'Enable during startup' were 
unchecked, you'd have to manually activate the interface. This is no 
different from enabling/disabling an interface permanently aslong as the 
interface remembers it's previous settings. Or am I confused? (it's late ;)
