Use of the word "Ethernet"

I agree on that, ethernet is not the best word. WIred network could do it, as that is what notification notifies you about when you connect it: wired network connected. There is always room for more consistency. :)

Agreed. Who knows what Ethernet is? On the other hand, who know what Internet is?

"I do!" they all shout.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.3.8

---------------
ubiquity (2.3.8) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * If a plugin declares a title, but it's not fetched properly from debconf,
    hide the title bar rather than crash.
  * Don't use "Ethernet" when indicating a user is connected to the network.
    (LP: #615104, #615035)
  * Make sure finished_label reflects the derivative name rather than
    hardcoding to "Ubuntu".
  * Set the buttons on the second autopartitioning screen appropriately
    to the choices on the first.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Update d-i/update-control for Dpkg::Deps changes in dpkg 1.15.6.
  * Make ubiquity-frontend-gtk Architecture: any, due to
    /usr/lib/ubiquity/panel (LP: #616581).
  * Remove build-locale on clean.
  * Update build rules for changes in debian-installer-utils 1.78.

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Add prepare page to KDE frontend
  * Update KDE Language page to closer follow GTK layout
  * pixmaps/cd_in_tray.png moves to ubiquity.install-any and ubiquity replaces old
    ubiquity-frontend-gtk
  * In debian/rules move usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/cheese* back to
    ubiquity-frontend-gtk package, including it in ubiquity package brings in a lot
    of Gnome dependencies
  * In ubi-language.py check if release notes can be accessed as well as checking
    for upgrade available and show correct label as appropriate

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Add new non-free option text from Michael Forrest.
  * Do not show the skip button by default.
  * Make the keyboard guesser window modal again, making it closeable
    and accepting of input.
  * Add back ready_text_label for the KDE frontend.
  * Add parallel operation support to the KDE frontend, with help from
    Jonathan Riddell.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils
    1.79ubuntu1, flash-kernel 2.28ubuntu8, partman-auto 91ubuntu4,
    partman-uboot 4, user-setup 1.28ubuntu8.
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
