Something's wrong with your GUI options. Why not do it from the command line?
Is it just my GUI options, or is KDE 4 bad? Is any one else succeeding with CentOS 6 and KDE 4?
No idea - never used the GUI, literally. The most I've every used that was "GUI" (for small values of GUI), was system-config-network.
I guess ifconfig and iwconfig are the commands to use. Right?
Is this on a laptop, or are you hardwired? If the latter, you can just edit /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, then restart the network.
Also, in view of all the problems I am having, perhaps I should drop back to CentOS 5.6. What do you think?
Don't see why, unless you absolutely don't want to deal with the network other than through that GUI.
Btw, if you close that "your system is not supported", you can go to the rightmost tab and add a new profile. I'm *NOT* going to try that out on my system here at work, but I'll wager that you can then edit the other tabs.
