Hi,
a while back I opened a bug regarding the if dialog not using/showing
the user comment, which results in a painful search for those like me
with multiport NICs on windows.

Finally I did what I should have done, fix the code and while trying to
upload the patch, I faced 2 problems:
- -I can not find my old bug
- -I found another (newer) bug for the same (3414).

The patch is very short, just borrowing the code from the main_welcome
interface list:
