Yeah.. Heal is one of my last choices. Repair associated with a
network interface may be patented by Redmond and Renegotiate is pretty
long for a button... definitely open to suggestions to change though

I disagree that it doesn't belong on the interfaces overview,
triggering a re-negotiation of the network address is a useful
troubleshooting step and implementing it the overall interface makes it
easy to use/find...

I didn't mention 'configure' in any form in that button because there
is already an option to 'configure' the interface. configure next to
reconfigure may be kind of confusing. 'Renegotiate' sounds better to
me.

I thought the auto configuration is supposed to reconfigure everything..
was just thinking it may be a nice troubleshooting step.
I agree though as long as auto configure does already does this.
I will remove the RemoveDefaultRoute call.
Thanks for the input! This kind of discussion really helps me stay on
track with what the community wants.
