Bug Description

In the device discovery process, adding a device from the discovered devices listing puts "Parent" above "IP address".

Almost every single device will have IP addresses (and possibly multiple interfaces and IP addresses) but very few will have "parents". So the hierarchy of information is poor here. We should strengthen the device addition forms to fit common usage.

For example, "Static" should be the default IP address allocation mechanism.
