In KDE 4, I click:
Kickoff > System Settings > Network & Connectivity > Network Settings > Network Settings
I get a popup informing me that my system is not supported. (This did not happen before.) I am offered choices. I choose RedHat 6.0 (Is this wrong? I also tried RedHat 9.0.).
I select Network Interfaces. I see nothing on the list *** even though I am presently running eth0 and can successfully ping google.com through it.***.
Now I set that interface using a GUI just a few days ago. I will say, the GUI looks different.
So what's happening?
Thanks for your help. Mike.

Use RHEL 6. RH 9 was before RH started RHEL.

Are you running this as root, or did it ask for root's password? <snip> mark

I see "Red Hat Linux 6.0 Hedwig", I see no "RHEL" on the list. Is this missing?
I am root.
Thanks, Mike.

ACK! Hedwig is about 10 years old. History: RH 1,2,3,4,5 (where I started using RH), 5.2,6 (Hedwig),7,7.1,7.2,7.3,8,9 (Shrike), RHEL1?2?,RHEL 3,RHEL 4, RHEL 5, and just this year, RHEL 6.
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?
I guess ifconfig and iwconfig are the commands to use. Right?
Also, in view of all the problems I am having, perhaps I should drop back to CentOS 5.6. What do you think?
Mike.

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.

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.

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.

It is a laptop. I have not been able to get it to work on the command line. Perhaps it would help if I remove NetworkManager? Also, there is probably not enough in my ifcfg-wlan0. I can see what is my ifcfg-eth0, but what do I put if the network is unknown (I am traveling) or I am using DHCP? Do you have a reference I can read?
Thanks, Mike.

I found some stuff that looks helpful on the web; I'll try it tomorrow (-0400). Since it involves stopping wpa_supplicant, I will have to stop NetworkManager, possibly with yum remove, unless I can find another way. Most important is the command dhclient, which is used at the end of the sequence.
Mike.
