For me it is working!! I have essentially to forms of NICs (one wired eth0 and one wireless ath0). Each of the two NICs have several actual devices to represent the various settings depending on where I travel to and how I connect.... I only used the GUI to define the Profiles and must admit that I had some difficulty getting things initially defined but do not recall the exact steps.... Since that time I make heavy use of the kernel boot parameter "netprofile=profilename" and heavy use of the command line "system-config-network-cmd --profile profilename --activate". I haven't been back in the GUI for a while.... Let me know if I can help compare notes.... --Rob
