f9da98ee9f## Problem - Manual network configuration using the dracut boot options is not easy ## Solution - Added new boot option `live.net_config_tui=1` to interactively configure network settings using the `nmtui` tool. - Additional features: - Allow configuring the HTTP proxy - Display the network configuration summary - Added network test button which tries connecting to www.suse.com to check that the network setup is correct. ## Testing - Tested manually ## Notes - It turned out that configuring the Wifi network is not possible because the drivers are missing in the initrd. In theory after adding the Wifi drivers (and firmware if required) it should be possible to configure also the Wifi cards and use them for downloading the self-updates. ## Screenshots The initial summary screen: <img width="1280" height="800" alt="agama-net-config-summary-devices" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/35ab0b0e-6907-4c9b-b60d-b3e2fc04ccde" /> After pressing "Edit" button the `nmtui` tool is started <img width="1280" height="800" alt="agama-net-config-edit" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5cbc7a82-8a7e-46b1-8e8e-0a43af2554c9" /> Then the user is asked to optionally configure the HTTP proxy: <img width="1280" height="800" alt="agama-net-config-proxy" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bd2fac93-a908-406f-87c9-7016e622b721" /> Then the summary dialog is displayed again. After pressing the "Test connection" button a request to `https://www.suse.com` is sent and the result is displayed on the screen: <img width="1280" height="800" alt="agama-net-config-test" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ba49d61e-295c-48f7-a421-d8a7241a0974" /> When the "Continue" button is pressed in the summary the boot process continues as usually. A proof that the configured network proxy is used in the self-update step later: <img width="1280" height="800" alt="nmtui7" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/476e54db-4f4d-480b-964c-b0b0009397af" />
