The Identity setting allows you to give the profile a custom name and select a Firewall Zone (among other settings). The IPv4 and IPv6 settings let you select DHCP or Manual, select a DNS server and set routes. Firewall zones can be customized in the Firewall Settings app. I haven't actually used hardwired profiles, so I'm not sure how you select the active one for a connection.
