Bug Description
Hi,
When I first starting using Ubuntu (a couple of years ago) I really had to look up what "eth0" was. And I still think this is really confusing and potentially scaring for non-tech people.
"Connected to Auto eth0" or "Could not connect to Auto eth0" doesn't really sounds that good?
Maybe changing Auto to Standard or Default? Maybe "Connected to wired network (eth0)"?
There is surely a more elegant way for fixing this, but my English isn't that good.
Thanks

Thanks for your bug report. This is being fixed with the new network-manager. The notification message will be:
Wired network
Connection established
