I found it and filed a "me too" :)
But for many purposes where profiles would work, NetworkManager works better. Have you tried it? Does it not work for you for some reason?
I tested NetworkManager, as you can see in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd0HaQE1YcQ and NetworkManager under fedora doesn't have any options for configuring "profiles" with static IP addresses - one feature I found Ubuntu NetworkManager has, as you can see on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0siB9xzEO8
Note that NetworkManager is *not* the same as the Network Monitor applet your videos showed in your reply to my earlier question.
I'm aware of that, any if you saw my previous two videos I have you links for you can see it also... maybe the naming of my previous video is a bit misleading...
# service NetworkManager start In GNOME, you should see a new icon in your notification area. Click it and see if you find some helpful actions. There's a brief description in /usr/share/doc/NetworkManager-0.6.4/README.
I read: /usr/share/doc/NetworkManager-0.6.5/README and it says that NetworkManager is only for DHCP networks :( That is not what I use most of the time... I usually use fixed IP addresses.
If you want it to start at boot, # chkconfig NetworkManager on
I'm not that of a newbie :) I'm in linux for a while...
