>Description:

At the moment, sysinst doesn't check if there is any interface, it just list
the availables interface. So if there are no interface present, you will
never find a valid one ;-). 

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to configure networg on a system that doesn't have network interface.
Thereis no way (else then Ctrl C) to leave the menu here it ask you
which interface you want to configure.

>Fix:
Doesn't have a serous look yet, see PR/4539 ?
It will be nice, if no interface are enter (press return) to just go
back to the previous menu.
