This raises an issue I've wondered about for some time, namely
What info does NM provide, and what is provided by KNM?
What if you don't run KNM -
could one still access Network Management Settings, and if so how?

The old system-config-network appears to have been replaced
by something which I find completely useless.
It only lists my ethernet interface (eth0), which I am not using.

In my experience anything to do with networking on Fedora/KDE
is utterly confusing and confused,
compared eg with the simplicity of networking under Windows.
