Try: main menu -> system -> administration -> network Press the 'Unlock' Button and then on 'Details'.
You should see something unreadable next to 'Action:'

By 'tool tip' I meant the tool tip in the main menu. The thing that gives a short description on the application.
I noticed the lack of such a tool tip for:
