Workflow of Network Configuration During First Boot

Coming from a previous configuration dialog the user decides whether he wants to configure the IP address for the network interface automatically or manually.
If he selects automatically the network configuration is finished and the next dialog is about the another module. If the user wants to configure the IP address manually he is guided through the following steps (each visualized by a separate dialog):

• IP address/subnet mask
• DNS
• Router

After that, the network configuration is complete and the user proceeds to the next module configuration.
The UI is reused from the current network module to increase consistency and to make it easier for developers.
