You mix up different things.
Please read again what I really wrote.
I was talking only about the manual selection of the model name
(i.e. two more cklicks to select the manufacturer and then the model).
You are talking about a configuration attempt which really failed.
I really hope that you don't complain if the only(!) thing
you need to do is to select your particular model from a list.
