Yes, pan0 is probably your new LAN connection. You have a couple of
ways of configuring it. You can run system-config-network from the
command line. Under Gnome, you can right click the network icon, and
add a new interface. I am sure there are a couple more ways to do
it, but I can not think of them off hand.
