If you try to setup networking with a physical device, but don't select a physical device (because the list is empty), you get an error. It says, "You must select one of the physical devices".
1. This should have a period at the end, as it's a sentence. (This seems to be a common error in virt-manager and the various error messages should all be checked and corrected as needed.)
2. This wording assumes there was a device, which there wasn't. Instead of "...select one of the physical...", it should say, "...select a physical...". Alternatively, if the first item in the list is always selected (making it impossible to select nothing if the list is non-empty), then the physical device radio button could be greyed out when the list is empty; this would make this error message entirely unnecessary.
Perhaps this dialog (or the wizard) should mention installing hal if the list is empty (which was the reason the list was empty for me).
Reproducible: Always
