Hmm.. This makes the main dialog much larger. I don't think that this
would be a good direction to take.

This is fine.

I don't think I would like to see this change for the main page. It
would be fine to add a new dialog (or alternatively, a separate tab for
this while the status fields would be on the first tab) that has the
Networks group as the only element .

Same here.. I don't want to do this on the main page (or well,
whatever that first window would be called). The goal of that page is to
provide easy access to showing the current status of the connection and
quick network selection. Anything more complex (network setup) should
not make this initial view more confusing.

This would also be fine on a separate dialog/tab.
