For one - this looks like a topic for fedora-list. And I think the current behavior is correct - because I (as a user) might want some devices with the SAME settings in all profiles. And to have different settings - you can make a 'copy' of the device [lets say eth0]- change settings in the copy. Now one profile will have - eth0 active - and the other will have eth0Copy0 active. [the nick-names can be changed from eth0/eth0Copy0 to more appropriate names] Satish
